The primary goal of the Secret Service is the protection of the prominent political figures of the United States. Because so much of their work must be low profile, remarkably little attention has been paid to this elite group. Each episode of The Secret Service: The Inside Story lifts the veil on an aspect of this legendary group and offers lessons in the evolution of this remarkable branch of government. This volume focuses on the bleakest era of the Service's history, covering the assassinations of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King, that lead some to believe in the ineptitude, and worse, the corruption, of the Service.
