Secret Service agents LOVE my latest book WHO'S WHO IN THE SECRET SERVICE!

THREE DIFFERENT AGENTS WEIGH IN:

On cloud nine now- I had a former Secret Service Agent (who requested anonymity, otherwise I would add this to my book!) tell me: “Vince, the fourth appendix in your book decimates the JFK detail. It is like a fiery courtroom final summation. Honestly, how anyone can defend them after what you have written is beyond me. We learned a lot of what NOT to do in training based on their performance.” Wow.

Another agent actually featured in the book:

"I appreciate the favorable review of my humble service.

This book is highly relevant in that it provides information on many historically significant happenings in the Service and those who were there. Many ,as you point out, have been forgotten with time which makes your book even more important.

You will eventually receive some poor reviews by some that are unhappy over not being mentioned, or over some of those who were. If that happens, don't let it bother you. Old former agents can be a vindictive lot. Also let me say that you have become a "real" author. By that I mean your writing is very professional and, you continue to produce works."

Yet another former agent actually wrote an Amazon review- John Carman:

"BEST EXPOSE OF ITS KIND SO FAR! I am former U.S. Secret Service and I know what REALLY goes on inside the U.S. Secret Service on many different levels including at the White House and FMD/WHD 1974-1977. I was also the one that interviewed John W. Hinckley in 1976 to have him committed to ST. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital
The Duty agent that night FAILED to admit Hinckley and 5 years later Hinckley was arrested for shooting President Reagan, SA-Tim McCarthy, Jim Brady and others.
Vince Palamara has the guts to expose the REAL Truth!
Way to go Vince !!!"

Look what I got. Be jealous. Be very jealous.

This is ““Who’s Who in the Secret Service: History’s Most Renowned Agents,” written by my friend Vince Palamara .

For you JFK readers: How many times have you wanted to be able to quickly look up a Secret Service agent from the JFK era? Or have you ever wondered who the most renowned Secret Service agents are in other time periods? We know the names of the agents who were around JFK. But do you know about the agents who were protecting Reagan when he was shot?

Of course, these are Vince Palamara’s choices for “the most renowned” honor. (Or is it an “honor” to be known for losing a President to an assassin?) But who better to make those selections than Vince, who has made it his life’s work to learn all he can about the Secret Service & those who filled its ranks.

Vince has spoken with several of the agents that you’ll encounter in this book. He’s corresponded with many. And he’s been vilified (unfairly, I believe) & shunned by a couple as well. Vince knows some family members, friends, & children of Secret Service agents who have shared insights over the years with Vince. These contacts with the real people of the SS gift Vince with an added depth of understanding that serves him well when he writes about them.

I was interested in reading about the first female & 23rd Director of the Secret Service, Julia Pierson. Now, I kind of wish I had not. She served one of the shortest tenure of any DIR/SS — about 1.5 years— before resigning. But that’s one of the greatest charms of this book. It’s not a glamorized account of these very accomplished people. And it’s not an indictment of them either. It’s balanced while it holds them accountable. We see the honor, dignity & heroism along side of the mistakes, some of which have been immense, even perhaps— unforgivable.

However, one thing that comes through loud & clear in this book (as well as Vince’s other books) is the high esteem in which Vince holds the Secret Service. He admires these men & women & stands in awe of their dedication & loyalty. Well, most of them, anyway. Sometimes people might not be a great fit for these positions, & Vince doesn’t pull any punches with those who do not.

The book culminates with an appendix of documents along with an engaging read of Vince’s own comments about the JFK assassination. (No spoilers; you’ll have to get the book.) If you’re interested in just a few specific agents or presidents or even a few mentions of Bebe Rebozo, the book includes an Index, an oft neglected but most necessary tool with a book like this.

Vince has become a go-to person for insights & information about the Secret Service. Get his book. You won’t be disappointed.

I think Vince has a few author’s copies left; hit him up. (Ask him to autograph it.) Amazon has the book available for pre-order; it will be released on September 1st.

My BEST book (yes, I said it!) coming 9/1/18

I am going to really push this one, more than the other three combined: Facebook ads, etc. While I am proud of all four of my books, this one is my best- here is why:

-most readable;
-most diversified: covering Presidents McKinley thru and including Trump;
-over 100 agents over 100 years (not "just" about the assassination of JFK);
-excellent photos;
-NEW information on the agency (even for those familiar with my previous books);
-exciting, never-before-published information about various Secret Service agents, the Kennedy assassination, and more;
-both contemporary and historical; much to contemplate within

My first book SURVIVOR'S GUILT (my "classic" book, I suppose) is on the Secret Service in the context of the JFK assassination; my second book JFK: FROM PARKLAND TO BETHESDA is on the medical evidence in the JFK assassination; my third book THE NOT-SO-SECRET SERVICE, while covering the period from FDR to Reagan, moderately achieves a more wide-ranging outlook on the Secret Service...

However, WHO'S WHO IN THE SECRET SERVICE: HISTORY'S MOST RENOWNED AGENTS, covers more than double the time and presidential eras, is my longest book since my first one (over 300 pages) and, again, is my best one to date! I am super excited about this one!

The one book of mine I would have on a desert island? This one!

Don't worry- you will hear A LOT more in the coming months (especially on the eve of publication). Stay tuned!

Vince Palamara

WHO'S WHO IN THE SECRET SERVICE: HISTORY'S MOST RENOWNED AGENTS (my fourth book) coming 9/1/18 ! A strong argument could be made that this one is my best book- widest appeal, most accessible, etc. Researchers will love quite a bit of the information (especially some of the appendices), while non-researchers will find much of interest here, as well. I thought my last book had some wider appeal, but THIS one REALLY does!
