Great Read. After all these years, finally the stories from those who were there.

Spectacular. Finally the real story narrated by who was really there. I couldn't stop reading. This Is the real thing, no Oliver Stone fiction

So glad to get this peek behind the curtain!. Though I President Kennedy was assassinated nearly 2 decades before I was born I have always been fascinated by the President. The Kennedy Detail provides a rare peek into his presidency from the men who were closer to him--literally--than any other so-called expert. I was particularly touched to learn of the President's devotion to his wife and children because for many years his devotion to his wife has been questioned. The rumors of his infidelity, like so many assassination conspiracies, are utterly false. Thanks for restoring Jack Kennedy as a man worthy of our highest respect--at least for this American

Engrossing. I found this to be a fascinating first hand account of the lives of the Secret Service detail and the Kennedy family. This is intimate account of their service and the tragedy of Dallas. One is immediately impressed with the type of person that is called to this type of duty and the daily sacrifice of their wives and children. I was surprised how sensitive and thoughtful the President and the First Lady were to the agents. Reading about the guilt and anguish of the detail was quite revealing and tragic. Clint Hill comes across as an extraordinary officer who blame himself for something he had absolutely no control over. You finish the book feeling that we as a country have not honored the service of these men nearly enough. May this book help heal the wounds of that tragic day.

Well Done!. Great read.

Excellent. As a 10 year old I remember where I was that day just like anyone of any age remembers. This book is a first hand account of what REALLY happened - from the men who were right there. I applaud these brave men for their courage and I feel for them in their pain. Thank you for telling this story. Future generations must be taught how one man's murder changed the world forever.

Excellent book. Really good

Review. Great insight into the demands of the Service.

Awesome read. So moving and tragic! Those poor Secret Service having to live with that guilt and sorrow untreated and misunderstood!! Peace!

Worthwhile read. The author and his partners do a fine job of putting you in their shoes on November 22, 1963 and especially in helping you understand the true chaos of events that day. Getting to that day can be a little tedious, but the bits of procedural detail help make the story come alive. I don't doubt the authors intentions or valiant service to our country, but there is a slight tinge of 'defensiveness' to the narrative, perhaps created by the 3rd person form which removes the reader from the mind of the writer. The Secret Service agents clearly did their job and we're in no way responsible for the assassination, and this book is a fitting closure to any indictment against them.

Great Perspective. As a young adult I lived through the Kennedy assassination and its enduring aftermath including the crazy conspiracy theories. Blaine's book took me back to that time that I remember vividly. If you are looking for conspiracies or insider information on the personal scandals of the president, this book is not for you. It is not there. However, if you want a deep look into the character of the Secret Service and the super-human demands put on them and the relationships with the president and Jacqueline, this book is a wonderful read. The Kennedy's were kind, respectful and appreciative of their family's protectors--not true of many other presidents. The feelings were mutual by the team that accepted they could give their lives protecting the first family. Kennedy's death had a deep and profound effect on The White House detail that lasted all of their lives. In spite of the uncontrollable circumstances they blamed themselves for loosing the president and for years honorably kept the secret that Kennedy had ordered the agents to stay off the back of the limousine. Well written. Very insightful. Very factual. And, very heart-wrenching.

A Must Read. This book was long overdue but certainly could not have been written while any of the principles were alive. Protecting the President and his family, other government and world leaders, and the candidates for the highest public office is arduous and this book depicts the life of secret service agents and their families with all of the realities included. Secret service agents lead lives that in many ways resembles that of our dedicated soldiers. Learning about the realities of protecting our leaders was an eye opener. A second aspect of this book is to set the record straight about the conspiracy theories that surrounded JFK's assassination. There are many and in that vein, this book is about 43 years too late. It made me remember Mark Twain's saying, "A lie travels half way around the world while the truth is still putting on it's shoes." JFK is quoted in this book as saying: "The great enemy of the truth is not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic." Not much has changed in that regard in today's world as we have witnessed the impact of lies on political campaigns, stories involving health care legislation, the President's origin of birth and conspiracy theories about 911. This book, in it's telling, puts to rest conspiracy theories about JFK's death and hopefully will cause the movement of those books in libraries and bookstores to the fiction sections of those shelves.

The Kennedy Detail. Excellent! Great perspective from agents who were true insiders.

The Kennedy Detail. Very informative read. Great insights into the mind of true sentinels. Finally puts to rest for me all the conspiracy theories and theorists of the Kennedy assassination. Lays bare one agent's guilt and tortured soul whom ironically preformed his duty the best during the assassination. One will clearly understand how President Kennedy's life was vulnerable to assassination in the end. An end that ultimately changed our world. A must read for the historian, the conspirator theorist, all Secret Service agents or the just plain Kennedyphile...

Don't Bother. The Title of this book should have been, "Clint Hill, How Cool Am I" or "A Secret Service Agent's Unrequited Love Story With Jackie O." As for Gerry Blaine, he wasn't even there when JFK was assassinated. The book is a complete whitewash of the Kennedy White House and they couldn't even manage to spell Hyannisport correctly. The book is strictly Amateur Hour pablum, written by a couple of old, bored men, with little or nothing to say.
