From Publishers Weekly
McCarthy is the Secret Service agent who wrestled John Hinckley to the ground after the would-be assassin shot President Reagan, and that incident is the centerpiece of this book. But there is much more: a short history of the agency, whose primary task is not protecting presidents, but apprehending counterfeiters; and a discussion of the training agents undergo, which requires them to suppress the instinct for self-preservation. We're also given portraits of the five presidents McCarthy has guarded, from the autocratic and abrasive LBJ to the pleasant Nixon, friendly Ford, distant, uncommunicative Carter, and the amiable Reagan.
