Resumen del Editor
Dan Emmett was just eight years old when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. The events surrounding the president's death shaped the course of young Emmett's life as he set a goal of becoming a U.S. Secret Service agent-one of a special group of people willing to trade their lives for that of the president, if necessary. Within Arm's Length is a revealing and compelling inside look at the Secret Service and the elite Presidential Protective Division (PPD). Using stories from some of the author's more high-profile assignments in his twenty-one years of service, Emmett describes the professional, physical, and emotional challenges faced by Secret Service agents. Included are never-before-discussed topics such as the complicated relationship between presidents, first ladies, and their agents; the inner workings of Secret Service protective operations; and the seldom-mentioned challenges of the complex Secret Service cultural issues faced by an agent's family.

Historia
Kandahar. The ancient desert crossroads and, as of fall of 2001, ground zero for the Taliban and al-Qa'ida in southern Afghanistan. In the northern part of the country, the US-supported Northern Alliance has made progress on the battlefield, but in the south, the country is still under the Taliban's bloody hold and al-Qa'ida continues to operate there. With no "Southern Alliance" for the US to support, a new strategy is needed if victory is to be achieved. Veteran CIA officer Duane Evans is dispatched to Pakistan to "get something going in the South." Foxtrot in Kandahar is his story.

Historia
During a nearly 40-year career in the United States Army, Hugh Shelton has been known as a straight shooter - when he speaks he means what he says. Whether serving under a Democratic president or a Republican president, whether in a war that was popular at home or not, Hugh Shelton gave all he had, and asked nothing less of the men and women who worked for him. Politically independent, Shelton told the truth - not what his superiors wanted to hear.

Historia
The CIA is looking for walking contradictions. Recruiters seek people who can keep a secret, yet pull classified information out of others; who love their country, but are willing to leave it behind to head into dangerous places; who live double lives, but can be trusted with some of the nation's most sensitive tasks. Michele Rigby Assad was one of those people. As a CIA agent, Michele soon found that working undercover was an all-encompassing job. The threats were real. The mission was a perilous one. Trained as a counterterrorism expert, Michele spent over a decade in the agency.

Long before the waterboarding controversy exploded in the media, one CIA agent had already gone public. In a groundbreaking 2007 interview with ABC News, John Kiriakou called waterboarding torture - but admitted that it probably worked. This book, at once a confessional, an adventure story, and a chronicle of Kiriakou's life in the CIA, stands as an important, eloquent piece of testimony from a committed American patriot.

On November 4, 1979, Iranian militants stormed the American embassy in Tehran and captured dozens of American hostages, sparking a 444-day ordeal and a quake in global politics still reverberating today. But there's a little-known footnote to the crisis: six Americans escaped. And a midlevel agent named Antonio Mendez devised an ingenious yet incredibly risky plan to rescue them. Armed with foreign film visas, Mendez and an unlikely team of CIA agents and Hollywood insiders traveled to Tehran....

America's first families are unknowable in many ways. No one has insight into their true character like the people who serve their meals and make their beds every day. Full of stories and details by turns dramatic, humorous, and heartwarming, The Residence reveals daily life in the White House as it is really lived through the voices of the maids, butlers, cooks, florists, doormen, engineers, and others who tend to the needs of the president and first family.

Among the characters we meet in The Way of the Knife are a young CIA officer dropped into the tribal areas to learn the hard way how the spy games in Pakistan are played; an Air Force test pilot who fired the first drone missile in the Nevada desert; and a chain-smoking Pentagon official who ran an off-the-books spying operation in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Interesting story about the Secret Service
This book was an enlightening story for me. Through the years, I have often wondered what it was like for those brave men and women who worked in the a United States Secret Service. Through my listening to the book, I was able to find out some of the day to day aspects of the life of a Secret Service agent. I would recommend this to anyone who has an interest in those folks who provide a very valuable service to the President of the United States and the citizenry of our country.

An Inside Look
For those interested in the USSS seeking information on the hiring process and academies, you won't find much inside information. But for those seeking information on what the lifestyle as USSS agent is like, then this book is for. Great book and look at the daily life of a USSS agent.

Disappointing
I'm not sure exactly what is expected from this book. I found it rather dull and too much about the author and not about secret service. I think I expected more about the secret service and Presidents. It's more of a autobiography of Emmett.

A fascinating behind-the-scenes account
There are those rare, hard-charging kind people who are able to meet any challenge head on, no matter the hardships. Regardless of what they do, they make it their business to be the very best at it. Dan Emmett is one of these individuals, and his storied career provides a unique and fascinating insight into the largely mysterious world of those who protect the occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Mr. Emmett has a very interesting history and I am glad I made the choice to purchase.

The honest story of a man with questionable morals
This honest story of a military man who built his career based on his desire to fight and endure hardship of what his jobs required of him teaches us that even a person with a very questionable morals (he believes in law and rules when they are applied to others but not to him as breaking the rules he considered to have balls, he believes in no difference between Russian and American Secret Service and their ideas Etc.) is necessary for our protections and well-being and we should be grateful to them for their sacrifice and dedication.

Suggested by a 10 year old
I got this recommendation from a youngster in 6th grade who read the abridged/adapted version and thought I might like it. What a great read and great insight into a very elite environment.
It's well paced and read and the anecdotes will keep you listening. It also made me want to do more pull ups. LOL
