Purchase options and add-ons

Being a Secret Service agent is one of the most treacherous jobs in the world and never more so than in today’s highly polarized America. Facing threats from fence jumpers and manifesto writers, and from fanatical terrorists and sophisticated spies, protecting the president is harder than ever. In an age of hyper-partisan politics, emotions are high and crazies are a dime a dozen. On top of that, with international tensions reaching a boiling point, it’s harder than ever to determine friend from foe.

 

Yet the President of the United States is in very real danger if the Secret Service doesn’t change course soon and evolve with the rapidly changing threat environment. Highly motivated “bad guys” are already working on technologically advanced methodologies and are constantly striving to formulate the logistics of an attack on the White House. Eventually terrorist planners will find a way to acquire the technology, weapons, explosives, and know-how to make an attempt on the life of the President. The only question is “What are we going to do about it?”

 

Protecting the President provides not only a rare insider glimpse of what the Secret Service does, but explores the challenges facing the agents today. Chock-full of relevant stories of protecting past presidents, veteran agent Dan Bongino explains how the agency can best protect the president today. This book covers how the Secret Service should

 

  • plan for a tactical assault by a terrorist attack team
  • prepare to respond to a severe medical emergency
  • train to handle a chemical or biological weapon attack
  • prepare for an attack using explosives, and
  • plan for 9-11 style attacks from the air and fire threats
  • and much more

Review

At a time when our security and intelligence apparatuses are in a shambles, this book stand our for its clarity, simplicity and solutions. There is no book more timely and important. Bongino s Big Six should be mandatory training for all our law enforcement and intelligent agents as well as school principals and concerned citizens. --Pat Brady, MG (Ret) Medal of Honor Recipient, author of Dead Men Flying

From the streets of New York to the Oval Office Secret Service Agent Dan Bongino serves his country yet again by taking the reader into a world rarely seen and forces us to demand an answer to an alarming question-can the bureaucratic morass and political gamesmanship be put aside in time to ensure the safety of our most precious office-The Presidency of The United States? --Benjamin Collins, former US Army Special Forces officer and entrepreneur

Former Secret Service Agent, Security Consultant, Radio Host, 2012 Republican Nominee for US Senate & 2014 Republican Nominee for US Congress (MD). Author of "The Fight" available here http://www.amazon.com/Fight-Service-Security-Failings-Political/dp/1250082986/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1443016448&sr=1-2&refinements=p_27%3ADan+Bongino and NYT Best Seller "Life Inside the Bubble" available here: http://amzn.to/1osAv9L

Dan Bongino’s public service career began with the NYPD in 1995. After joining the US Secret Service in 1999, Dan received a Department of Justice award for his many investigations and arrests while assigned to a financial fraud task-force.

In 2006, Dan entered into duty with the elite Presidential Protective Division during the administration of President George W. Bush. Dan became one of the earliest tenured agents to be given responsibility for an operational section of the protective detail and he remained on protective duty with President Barack Obama.

One of their most distinguished agents, Dan’s assignments included the coordination of President Obama’s visits to Prague, Jakarta, amongst a myriad of terror threats, and finally as the lead agent responsible for President Obama’s visit to an active war zone in Afghanistan.

Upon resigning from the Secret Service in 2011, Dan began a grassroots campaign for the US Senate in Maryland against the state’s deep-rooted Democratic establishment. Despite overwhelming odds, he defeated 9 opponents in the Republican primary and finished second in a three-way race in the general election. Dan ran again in 2014. This time for the US Congress against a first-term Democratic opponent who had recently defeated the Republican representing the district by an incredible 21 points, in a newly gerrymandered district designed for easy Democratic victories. Shocking nearly everyone, in a race that was universally declared “uncompetitive”, Dan won the race on Election Day, yet lost the election over the coming days by just 1 point as the absentee ballot count was finalized.

A New York Times Best Selling author of Life Inside the Bubble: Why a Top-Ranked Secret Service Agent Walked Away From It All, Dan provides expertise on international security and political strategy for outlets such as Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and others. Dan is also a regular guest host on the Sean Hannity and Mark Levin Radio Shows, along with his guest hosting on Washington DC’s WMAL radio.

Dan has his MBA from Penn State University, and his MA and BA from the City University of New York.

A scathing indictment of the "it's the way we've always done it" mentality.

A scathing indictment of the "it's the way we've always done it" mentality.
In his third book, former secret service agent Dan Bongino touches on some of the underlying management issues that plaque the agency responsible for protecting our nations most important leaders. The shocking level of ineptitude plaqued by "it's the way we've always done it" group-think is a fantastic illustration which transcends into realms of corporate roadblocks which you may be able to relate with in your own life.
