In this one, the sections on the various politicians and their families are solely about how the Secret Service agents he interviewed feel about them. Some Democrats were well-liked and made the agents' job easy, and others weren't and didn't. The same things are true of Republicans. I don't see how you can get any more non-partisan than that, in this particular book.James Reasonerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18049917964433932612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-51754998366546249772010-02-03T17:02:58.584-06:002010-02-03T17:02:58.584-06:00Kessler is also the author of fawning books about ...Kessler is also the author of fawning books about Bush II and his wife Laura.

This one is pretty readable, not like a lot of non-fiction. Livia has another Secret Service book I've looked at, but I think it would be a real slog getting through it.
