Carol Leonnig has been reporting on the Secret Service for The Washington Post for most of the last decade, bringing to light the secrets, scandals, and shortcomings that plague the agency today - from a toxic work culture to dangerously outdated equipment to the deep resentment within the ranks at key agency leaders, who put protecting the agency’s once-hallowed image before fixing its flaws. But the Secret Service wasn’t always so troubled.

TWO DIFFERENT BOOKS AND VERY LEFT LEANING
Revisado: 05-18-22
THIS IS A 20 HOUR BOOK. THE FIRST 16 HORS, NARRATED BY MAGGI-MEG REED WAS WELL DONE ALTHOUGH A BIT BIASED. THE LAST 4 HOURS, NARRATED BY CAROL LEONNIG WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO LISTEN TO BECAUSE OF HER TERRIBLE VOICE BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, HER LEFT LEANING RHETORIC. I WONDER IS HER SOURCES ARE NOW ASHAMED FOR THEIR COOPERATION WITH HER OR ARE THEY JUST TRYING TO GET BACK AT THE AGENCY FOR THEIR OWN FAILURES. I SHOULD HAVE KNOW WHERE THIS BOOK WAS GOING WHEN I LEARNED THAT SHE HAD BEEN A REPORTER FOR THE WASHINGTON POST.

The Presidents Club was born at Eisenhower’s inauguration when Harry Truman and Herbert Hoover first conceived the idea. Over the years that followed - and to this day - the presidents relied on, misunderstood, sabotaged, and formed alliances with one another that changed history. The world’s most exclusive fraternity is a complicated place: its members are bound forever because they sat in the Oval Office and know its secrets, yet they are immortal rivals for history’s favor.
