The Kennedy Detail: JFK's Secret Service Agents Break Their Silence Audiobook

" I highly recommend this book and Five Days in November by Clint Hill and Lisa McCubbin! It is a second by second recounting and you feel like you were there. It answers all of your questions. It is history come to life. Clint Hill also has other books about the 5 presidents he worked with and books about his protection of Jackie Kennedy. "

" It was an interesting read. Sadly I knew the ending but getting there kept my interest. The use of 3rd person was distracting a bit. I never felt a bond with the narrator. I guess that was by design but at the same time I missed it. If you have any interest in JFK you should pick this up. "

" Great historical account!!! "

" This is another of the Kennedy era books I have just read. This one had a lot of detail and was sometimes bogged down by all the names to remember. But still another perspective on the life of JFK. "

" After a lifetime of hearing conspiracy theories and others' point of view, it was very enlightening to learn about the insiders view of this poignant event in our nation's history. "

" Mediocre writing, but it is useful for debunking a number of salacious myths. Not bad, just not great. "

" Beautifully written, fascinating and devastating. This book is a must read. Especially for you, Tim Meaney. "

" Having some insight about the ss, I thought this book was intriguing and fascinating. This book is not historical as much as it is about the agent's lives during the Kennedy presidency. "

" Interesting read about the days leading up to Kennedy's assassination and the intimate relationships that the secret service share with each other and the first family. "

" Very interesting book about an event I remember clearly. Previously unknown facts because the Secret Service didn't share this info before. "

" I thought the first half was slow, but the second half was very interesting and educational. "

" It was very well written! It was a perspective of what happened that you never hear of, and I actually learned a lot more about the what was going on during those times then I ever did in any of my history classes "

" laborously written quite dull, yet did give in insight into the events. Obviously written by non writer, a very dedicated government worker. "

" Good book. Would have been better if it didn't jump around in time so much. "

" Interesting inside story of how secret service men dealt with Kennedy's family and his death and how it effected their lives. Took me a long time to read but was worth the time it took!! "

" Fascinating from beginning to end. Your heart breaks for these agents, especially Clint Hill, Mrs. Kennedy's personal agent. Reading his book next. Would've loved to have discussed this read with a group. "

" Very very interesting! A fascinating look at not only the Secret Service Agents who protected President Kennedy & his family, etc. but an insightful portrait into the Secret Service, in general, as well. "

" What a great view into the lives of the Kennedys. An especially good introspection into the lives of the families of the special agents on the Presidential Detail. "

" Great read. Neat to hear some of the behind the scenes of how the Secret Service works. Great stories told in a good way. "

" I liked this book....I have read a few books about the Kennedy's and I lived thru JFK's asassination (!). I liked the 'first hand' accounting of this book. Very easy to read, enjoyable. "

" Very interesting! I had a hard time remembering who the agents were, but a very interesting read. "

" A very telling account of the six seconds it took to kill JFK. An event in history we all remember where we were and what we were doing. I have a greater respect for all the men and women who serve our country as Secret Service agents. "

" Fascinating!!! The inside scoop of President Kennedy's assassination from the perspective of the Secret Service on duty. Their story is heartbreaking as it affected the lives of each man. They all felt responsible and that they could have done more, but there was nothing that anyone could do. "

" this is an interesting look into an untapped piece of history. i'm not so sure that i believe the neutral tone of the book. it seems that the loyality the officers held for kennedy's is still in place. but it still is worth your time and effort. "

" Very good to hear from those who were there. I'm so glad I read this book! "

" laborously written quite dull, yet did give in insight into the events. Obviously written by non writer, a very dedicated government worker. "

" Great book, lots of interesting details relating to the assassination and the Kennedy family before and after the president was killed. "

" Very well-written and the organization of the book makes it read like a novel. Fantastic recount of the lives of the agents, great stories about a beloved president and his family. Recommend as a read to all generations! "

" A touch slow in the first half. Fascinating read. "

" A very insightful,heartwrenching "behind the scenes" account of the brief Kennedy years and those few moments in our American history that fowever changed so many of us. I read it cover to cover without putting it down and am most apprecitative of the author's personal revelations. "

" Agents were dedicated and loyal. I wonder what they saw but were not willing to tell others.<br/> "

" Lots of fascinating detail about the secret service and the people they protect <br/> "

" Good book. Would have been better if it didn't jump around in time so much. "
