New York Times   His [Kessler's] book quotes both flattering and unflattering observations about presidents of both parties. FactCheck.org    Ron Kessler appears to get everything first. Slate Since publication of his New York Times bestselling book In the President’s Secret Service, award-winning investigative reporter Ronald Kessler has continued to penetrate the wall of secrecy that surrounds the U.S. Secret Service, breaking the story that Secret Service agents who were to protect President Obama hired prostitutes in Cartagena, Colombia and revealing that the Secret Service allowed a third uninvited guest to crash a White House state dinner.   Now in The First Family Detail: Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents, Kessler presents far bigger and more consequential stories that are making headlines about our nation’s leaders—Republicans and Democrats—and the agency sworn to protect them. Kessler widens his scope to include presidential candidates and former presidents after they leave the White House. In particular, he focuses on first ladies and their children and their relationships with the presidents.    From observing Vice President Joe Biden’s reckless behavior that jeopardizes the country’s safety, to escorting Bill Clinton’s blond mistress at Chappaqua, to overhearing First Lady Michelle Obama’s admonitions to the president, to witnessing President Nixon’s friends bring him a nude stripper, to seeing their own agency take risks that could result in an assassination, Secret Service agents know a secret world that Ronald Kessler exposes in breathtaking detail.  The First Family Detail on Book TV   White House Secrets Revealed in "The First Family Detail"   Bill Clinton's Mistress Codenamed "Energizer"   ABC News: Hillary's Detail a "Form of Punishment" Time: The Secret Service Thinks We Are Fools     Order at Amazon       Order at Barnes & Noble   Order at iBooks           Order at IndieBound Books by Ron Kessler   THE FIRST FAMILY DETAIL Secret Service Agents Reveal the Hidden Lives of the Presidents   THE SECRETS OF THE FBI IN THE PRESIDENT'S SECRET SERVICE Behind the Scenes With Agents in the Line of Fire  and the Presidents They Protect THE TERRORIST WATCH Inside the Desperate Race to Stop the Next Attack LAURA BUSH An Intimate Portrait of the First Lady A MATTER OF CHARACTER Inside the White House of George W.
