Full Synopsis
Being a Secret Service agent is one of the most treacherous jobs in the world and never more so than in today's highly polarized America. Facing threats from fence jumpers and manifesto writers, and from murderous terrorists and sophisticated spies, protecting the president is harder than ever. In an age of hyper-partisan politics, emotions are high and threats are everywhere. On top of that, with international tensions reaching a boiling point, it's harder than ever to determine friend from foe.

Yet the President of the United States is in very real danger if the Secret Service doesn't change course soon and evolve with the rapidly changing threat environment. Not only is the agency facing scandals from within, low morale, and an ever-present media looking to capitalize on the slightest misstep, the agency also has to contend with highly motivated bad guys who are already working on technologically advanced methodologies and are constantly striving to formulate the logistics of an attack on the White House. Eventually terrorist planners will find a way to acquire the technology, weapons, explosives, and know-how to make an attempt on the life of the President. The only question is What are we going to do about it?

"At a time when our security and intelligence apparatuses are in a shambles, this book stand our for its clarity, simplicity and solutions. There is no book more timely and important." ---Pat Brady, MG (Ret) Medal of Honor recipient, author of Dead Men Flying

"From the streets of New York to the Oval Office Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino serves his country yet again by taking the reader into a world rarely seen and forces us to demand an answer to an alarming question-can the bureaucratic morass and political gamesmanship be put aside in time to ensure the safety of our most precious office-The Presidency of The United States?" ---Benjamin Collins, former US Army Special Forces officer and entrepreneur
