Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The first definitive account of the rise and fall of the Secret Service, from the Kennedy assassinationto the alarminglapsesof the Obama and Trump yearsfrom Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Carol Leonnig"This book is a wake-up call, and a valuable study of a critically important agency."The New York Times A WASHINGTON POST BEST BOOK OF THE YEARCarol Leonnigreportedon the Secret Service for nearly a decade, bringing to light the secrets, scandals, and shortcomings that plague the agency todayfrom a toxic workplace culture to dangerously outdated equipment to the deep resentment within the ranks at key agency leaders, who put protecting the agency's once-hallowed image before fixing its flaws.The Secret Service was born in 1865, in the wake of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, but its story begins in earnest in 1963, with the death of John F.
