Download or read book The Story of the U s Secret Service written by Jack L. Roberts and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-06-06 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 1980, U.S. Secret Service Agent Tim McCarthy did something no one else has ever done. He took a bullet for the president. The president was Ronald Reagan. Agent McCarthy jumped in front of President Reagan as a young gunman fired six shots in an attempt to kill the president. Due to his heroic action, Agent McCarthy saved President Reagan's life. But this unsung hero never thought that his actions that day were heroic. "I'm glad I got to do what I was trained to do," he later said. He also paid tribute to the other agents who were on the presidential detail that day. "It was a heck of a team effort," he said. Agent McCarthy is just one of the many unsung heroes young readers will learn about in this intriguing history of the U.S. Secret Service. Among other things, readers will discover: - The original purpose of the Secret Service (it was not to protect the president); - How U.S. presidents were protected before the U.S. Secret Service; - The heroic actions of Secret Service agents since 1901; - What U.S. Secret Agent Tim McCarthy did that no other agent has ever done; - How the Secret Service has changed since the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Most importantly, readers will learn about a remarkable group of men (and, since 1971, women) who risk their lives every day to protect the president and his family and other government officials. They truly are American's Unsung Heroes.

Download or read book Memories of a Secret Agent written by Paul Kramer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2006-12-11 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is essential for the reader to remember that this is a memoir; in other words, a record of events based on the authors experiences and feelings. Because of the secrecy restrictions at the time these events occurred, and in some cases for many years thereafter, the author kept no diary, notes, or record and wrote no letters describing his work. Furthermore, almost without exception, all the people with whom and for whom he worked are now dead. Consequently, in writing this book, the author has been entirely dependent on his memory. At the age of ninety-one, this memory may have at times been defective or twisted. However, there can be no doubt the story is true. Careful research of the archives of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, the U.S. Navy, and the CIA should substantiate this. But even here, there will be difficulties due to secrecy and the deindexing of the FBIs Latin American files by its then-director rather than turn them over to the hated CIA. Moreover, the authors foolish refusal to accede to the request of his commanding officer to write the history of the naval operation Roads End immediately after its conclusion and for which he had received a commendation has erased forever the details of that historic event. Finally, the tragic suicide of the CIAs director of operations subsequent to the Kim Philby espionage scandal diminished the possibility of a proper analysis of events surrounding it in Washington . . .
Download or read book The Irish in the Resistance written by Clodagh Finn and published by Gill & Macmillan Ltd. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'You simply couldn't stand by with your arms folded.' These were the words of Samuel Beckett who famously returned to France from a holiday in Ireland when World War II broke out. His clandestine work against the Nazi occupation of Europe is well documented, but there were many other ordinary Irish people who joined the underground network. Some took up arms. Others gathered intelligence, sheltered fugitives, committed acts of sabotage or broke codes. This new history tells the stories of those forgotten Irish men and women. Discover Captain John Keany from Cork, who parachuted into occupied Italy to help the local Resistance; Margaret Kelly, the Dublin founder of the world-famous Bluebell Girls cabaret troupe in Paris, who hid her Jewish husband; and Catherine Crean, the Irish governess born on Moore Street, Dublin, who was sent to a concentration camp for helping Allied airmen in Belgium. These, and many more stories, span the course of World War II and remind us of the power of individuals to make a difference. 'An eye-opening account of how ordinary people caught up in extraordinary situations helped to fight the Nazis' David McCullagh 'A truly important and groundbreaking book' Mary Kenny
