Painstakingly researched by an authority on the history of the
Secret Service and based on primary, firsthand accounts from more
than 80 former agents, White House aides, and family members, this
is the definitive account of what went wrong with John F. Kennedy's
security detail on the day he was assassinated. The work provides a
detailed look at how JFK could and should have been protected and
debunks numerous fraudulent notions that persist about the day in
question, including that JFK ordered agents off the rear of his
limousine; demanded the removal of the bubbletop that covered the
vehicle; and was difficult to protect and somehow, directly or
indirectly, made his own tragic death easier for an assassin or
assassins. This works also thoroughly investigates the threats on
the president's life before travelling to Texas; the presence of
unauthorized Secret Service agents in Dealey Plaza, the site of the
assassination; the failure of the Secret Service in monitoring and
securing the surrounding buildings, overhangs, and rooftops; and
the surprising conspiratorial beliefs of several former agents.An
important addition to the canon of works on JFK and his
assassination, this study sheds light on the gross negligence and,
in some cases, seeming culpability, of those sworn to protect the
president.
