From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller CRISIS OF CHARACTER comes an explosive new exposé of the Secret Service. The United States Secret Service is tasked with protecting our Presidents, their families, and the complex in which they live and work. Given this important mission, world stability rests upon the shoulders of its agents. In his new book, former Secret Service officer Gary Byrne takes readers behind the scenes to understand the agency's history and today's security failings that he believes put Americans at risk The American public knows the stories of Secret Service heroism, but they don't know about the hidden legacy of problems that have plagued the agency ever since its creation. Gary Byrne says that decades of catastrophic public failures, near misses, and bureaucratic and cultural rot threaten to erode this critical organization from the inside out. Today, as it works to protect President Trump, the Secret Service stands at a crossroads, and the time needed to choose the right course is running out. Agents and officers are leaving the Secret Service in droves, or they're being overworked to the point where they lose focus on the job. Management makes decisions based on politics, not the welfare of their employees. Byrne believes that this means danger for the men and women of the Secret Service, danger for the President they protect, and danger for the nation. In this book, he shares what he has witnessed and learned about the Secret Service with the hope that the problems of this most important agency can be fixed before it's too late.

Trade Paperback. Condition: Like New. Copyright © 1997. 346 + xv pp. An excellent, spotlessly clean copy! Clean, fresh, sharp, tight, essentially flawless copy with crisp pages and clean text. Synopsis: George Grant's mystique as a public philosopher is due in part to the seemingly contradictory political stances he took through the years. His opposition to the Vietnam war and his linking of liberalism with technological progress and imperialism brought him favour among the political left during the 1960s. Then, in the following decade, his opposition to abortion earned him allies on the political right, despite his rejection of limitless capitalist growth and free trade with the US. This collection of original essays reveals the complex philosophic, artistic, and religious sources underlying Grant's public positions of nationalism, pacifism, and conservatism.The collection begins with Grant's previously unpublished writing on CTline. This is a bold and vigorous Grant, writing on a topic about which he is passionate and deeply informed. Grant's own work is followed by two pieces that explore his devotion to CTline. Nietzsche, Heidegger, Weil, and Strauss also receive special attention here. Many of the essays draw on manuscripts and notes left unpublished by Grant, thus contributing new perspectives to the ongoing discussion of his work.The focus of this book is the unknown George Grant, namely, the philosophic, religious, and artistic inspiration behind his well-known public positions. Here we discover the great modern thinkers who animated Grant, and whose writings occupied him for much of his life.

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Grant Schmidt [author photograph] (illustrator). xiii, [3], 285, [1] pages. Footnotes. In this runaway #1 New York Times bestseller, former secret service officer Gary Byrne, who was posted directly outside President Clinton's oval office, reveals what he observed of Hillary Clinton's character and the culture inside the White House while protecting the First Family in Crisis of Character. The book rose to number two on the Amazon bestsellers list within a few days of its release. Soon after publication, the book debuted atop the New York Times Non-Fiction best seller list, and stayed on top during its second through fifth weeks. The book appeared as number one on the Publishers Weekly list. Byrne was a member of the uniformed division of the Secret Service during the Clinton administration in the 1990s. He was stationed outside the door of the Oval Office and was able to closely observe Bill and Hillary Clinton. His experiences showed him that the Clintons were unfit for high office. Byrne entered the Secret Service in 1991. He admired President George H. W. Bush, who had served in the military as a naval aviator. Bush had a sense of easy camaraderie with the law enforcement personnel who worked to protect him. Byrne also had a good relationship with first lady Barbara Bush, who would sometimes gently tease him. As a result of 9/11, airport and airplane security was vastly increased. Many Secret Service agents transferred to become air marshals protecting domestic flights. Byrne became more and more disgusted with the poor management of the Secret Service. In 2003, he joined many of his fellow agents and became an air marshal. Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate is a best-selling 2016 book by former United States Secret Service Uniformed Division officer Gary J. Byrne with Grant M. Schmidt that purports to describe President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton as they resided in the White House during portions of the 1993-2001 Clinton administration, alleging marital infidelities on his part and an imperious manner on hers. The book also portrays a volatile relationship between the First Couple. Part of its commercial success was due to strong support from conservative media. Advance excerpts were also published in newspapers such as the Boston Herald. In addressing current affairs, in particular making reference to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016, in the context of which the book was published, Byrne concludes that from his experiences, Hillary Clinton "lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office". The work also includes some episodes from the author's career that took place during prior presidential administrations. First Edition [stated]. Third printing [Stated].
