Summary: A must read
Comment: This book is a fascinating look at the Secret Service - one of the most visible government agencies but (I now know) one of the least understood. It's a really easy read, with lots of colorful anecdotes about the agency, its history and the job of being a secret service agent. The topic is timely (i.e. in the post-9/11 era and with the creation of the Dept. of Homeland Security) and Melanson seems to have done a tremendous amount of original research. A wonderful book.

Rating: 5
Summary: Good book
Comment: This is a good account of the secret service and their job function. It provides a comprehensive history of the agency
from its inception to present. It's also a good account of how
not to spell because there are numerous spelling mistakes and
editorial mistakes that shouldn't have been overlooked.

Rating: 1
Summary: inaccurate and dull
Comment: The book is both inaccurate, and dull. Other than that, it's a total waste of time!
