A former Secret Service agent provides a behind-the-scenes account of what it was like protecting Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter, offering scores of anecdotes, and reveals how and why he left the Secret Service.

This book is a decade of intimate history by an agent who never quite fit the mold. After protecting Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, and hose of foreign dignitaries, Marty Venker left the service and has created a candid and moving behind-the-scenes look at life with some of the world's most powerful man and women.

"This is funny and a great personal story. Marty Venker died in 2013, but he lived a great life. His time in the agency was long ago, but he shares some of the tales only an insider can. This was the first insider look at the agency. After leaving the agency he became a DJ in NYC clubs. What a career move! That part of the book was hilarious. Marty was an original. He will be missed. Glad he shared his story with us." [from a private review]
