It takes a special type of individual to be a U.S. Secret Service agent, one willing to take a bullet to preserve the ideals on which the United States was founded. "To Be a U.S. Secret Service Agent" lifts the curtain for a look inside this secretive law enforcement agency, including the highly selective recruiting, intense training and specialized weapons and equipment used to protect current and past Presidents, vice presidents, their families and visiting heads of state. "To Be a U.S. Secret Service Agent," by Henry Holden, shows all the steps toward becoming an agent in the post 9/11 era. It is available in bookstores everywhere on online at www.zenithpress.com.
