What has mystery, romance, humor, action, intrigue, adventure and
over 999,000 characters? The answer is "Breaking Tecumseh's Curse,"
the inspirational, informative and exciting memoir written by Jan
Marie and Bob Ritter. It relates the couple's early years together
when Bob was a special agent with the United States Secret Service
in Washington, D.C. "It's the first Secret Service book told from a
spouse's perspective," says author Jan Marie Ritter. Rich in
emotion, "Breaking Tecumseh's Curse" is the heartfelt love story of
a young couple's journey through some extraordinary times. From
1840 to 1960, every United States president elected or reelected in
a year ending in zero died in office. Of those seven presidents,
four were assassinated. "Breaking Tecumseh's Curse" unfolds the
real-life adventures of the U.S. Secret Service agent who tried to
change tomorrow. Through enhanced protective methods and
procedures, Secret Service Agent Bob Ritter hoped to prevent a
similar fate for the president elected in 1980, Ronald Reagan. Some
never before published information regarding the Reagan
assassination attempt is revealed. There's also an exciting,
historical look at assassination and the Secret Service including a
provocative profile of accused JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald.
"Breaking Tecumseh's Curse" spotlights a dangerous period for the
Secret Service-from 1972-1982. During that time, five assassination
attempts took place against persons protected by the USSS, more
than any other era. The book presents the historic events of the
time and a rare insider's look at the Secret Service. The
little-known field of protective intelligence is featured. With
hope for preventing future tragedies, some successful strategies
for predicting dangerousness in individuals are also explored.
Bob's mantra of "desperate people are dangerous people" and
assessment techniques developed by him jump off the page at a time
when violence, terrorism, and mass murders are all too often in the
news. "We can change our tomorrows," declare the Ritters. Join Bob
Ritter and his fellow agents for fun, adventure, and some sorrow
too as they try to break Tecumseh's Curse.
