Protecting the President: An Inside Account of the Troubled Secret Service in an Era of Evolving Threats

Being a Secret Service agent is one of the most treacherous jobs in the world and never more so than in todayâ€™s highly polarized America. Facing threats from fence jumpers and manifesto writers, and from fanatical terrorists and sophisticated spies, protecting the president is harder than ever. In an age of hyper-partisan politics, emotions are high and crazies are a dime a dozen. On top of that, with international tensions reaching a boiling point, itâ€™s harder than ever to determine friend from foe.

Yet the President of the United States is in very real danger if the Secret Service doesnâ€™t change course soon and evolve with the rapidly changing threat environment. Highly motivated â€œbad guysâ€ are already working on technologically advanced methodologies and are constantly striving to formulate the logistics of an attack on the White House. Eventually terrorist planners will find a way to acquire the technology, weapons, explosives, and know-how to make an attempt on the life of the President. The only question is â€œWhat are we going to do about it?â€

Protecting the President provides not only a rare insider glimpse of what the Secret Service does, but explores the challenges facing the agents today. Chock-full of relevant stories of protecting past presidents, veteran agent Dan Bongino explains how the agency can best protect the president today. This book covers how the Secret Service should

â€¢ plan for a tactical assault by a terrorist attack team
â€¢ prepare to respond to a severe medical emergency train to handle a chemical or biological weapon attack
â€¢ prepare for an attack using explosives
â€¢ plan for 9-11 style attacks from the air and fire threats
â€¢ and much more
