4.19/5 (155 ratings)
Read Now Download Now
U.S. Secret Service Agent Rufus W. Youngblood was in charge of the Vice Presidential Detail on that tragic day in Dallas, Texas, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. Immediately upon hearing shots being fired, he pushed Lyndon B. Johnson to the floor of their limousine, shielding the vice president’s body with his own. But this action was only the most publicized incident of a twenty-year career in the Secret Service.

This memoir, originally published by Simon & Schuster in 1973, is a candid account of Youngblood’s tenure with this crucial government agency during which he was assigned to protect Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. Going behind the scenes of some of America’s most pivotal events, he describes the complexities, the risks, and the constant tensions of protecting the American president—including some of the humorous moments and traits of the chief executives themselves.

This new edition now includes numerous photographs to enhance readers’ appreciation of this personal, firsthand account of a critical period in American history.
