Since the birth of our nation and the election of the first
president, groups of organized plotters or individuals have been
determined to assassinate the chief executive. From the Founding
Fathers to the Great Depression, three presidents have been
assassinated: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, and William
McKinley. However, unknown to the general public, almost all
presidents have been threatened, put in danger, or survived "near
lethal approaches" during their terms. Plotting to Kill the
President reveals the numerous, previously untold incidents when
assassins, plotters, and individuals have threatened the lives of
American presidents, from George Washington to Herbert Hoover. Mel
Ayton has uncovered these episodes, including an attempt to
assassinate President Hayes during his inauguration ceremony, an
attempt to shoot Benjamin Harrison on the streets of Washington, an
assassination attempt on President Roosevelt at the White House,
and many other incidents that have never been reported or have been
covered-up. Ayton also recounts the stories of Secret Service
agents and bodyguards from each administration who put their lives
in danger to protect the commander in chief. Plotting to Kill the
President demonstrates the unsettling truth that even while the
nation sleeps, those who would kill the president are often hard at
work devising new schemes.
