1.0 out of 5 stars Please, No, February 24, 2012
By Dr. Michael D. Halsey "cicero" (Stockbridge, GA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME) This review is from: The Kennedy Detail: JFK's Secret Service Agents Break Their Silence (Hardcover)
This book is not only poorly written, but it's also a picture of a President and First Lady who can do nothing wrong in the author's eyes. In view of all we now know, it must have been difficult for the author to write such a like as, "The President always put his family first. Yeah, right.
The demand of Jackie Kennedy that she and all the heads of state walk in the funeral procession which put the world leaders and the new President at risk was foolish.
The book becomes repetitious in its relating of how continually exhausted the agents of the SS were and the constant, "Stay on task. Stay on task" mantra becomes just as boring. We read the endless reports of how long they were away from their families, how their holidays were ruined every year. Rather than whining, the tired, exhausted agents who always repeat, "Stay on task, stay on task," could have found other occupations. If you plan to read this publicity piece, get it from the library, or borrow it from a friend--he'll be glad to get it off his hands.
