Review - Within Arms Length

Within arms length by Dan Emmett

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


First thought about this book was, "Wow, does this author have a HUGE ego, or what?"  But most secret service agents probably think the same way.

Overall I enjoyed the book.  It advertised itself as a "definitive inside account of protecting the president."   I was a little disappointed it really didn't go into detail about how the secret service failed to protect the president during Clinton's administration (i.e., Monica Lewinsky).  He completely ignored that chapter of history.  Otherwise it was interesting to see how the service has evolved, got bigger, better, and more effective and how they do more than just presidential protection. 


Now I am working on Rump : the true story of Rumplestiltskin by Liesl Shurtliff.
