NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - " Ron Kessler appears to get everything first."-- Slate As in a play, presidents, vice presidents, and presidential candidates perform onstage for the public and the media. What the nation's leaders are really like and what goes on behind the scenes remain hidden. Secret Service agents have a front-row seat on their private lives and those of their wives and children. Crammed with new headline-making revelations, The First Family Detail by New York Times bestselling author Ronald Kessler tells that eye-opening, uncensored story. The First Family Detail reveals: - Vice President Joe Biden regularly orders the Secret Service to keep his military aide with the nuclear football a mile behind his motorcade, potentially leaving the country unable to retaliate in the event of a nuclear attack. - Secret Service agents discovered that former president Bill Clinton has a blond mistress--code-named Energizer by agents--who lives near the Clintons' home in Chappaqua, New York. - The Secret Service covered up the fact that President Ronald Reagan's White House staff overruled the agency to let unscreened spectators get close to Reagan as he left the Washington Hilton, allowing John W. Hinckley Jr. to shoot the president. - Because Hillary Clinton is so nasty to agents, being assigned to her protective detail is considered a form of punishment and the worst assignment in the Secret Service. "Kessler's such a skilled storyteller, you almost forget this is dead-serious nonfiction."-- Newsweek

I EXPECTED A SERIOUS BOOK AND WHAT I GOT WAS TRASH. SOME
PEOPLE WILL DO ANYTHING FOR MONEY...SUCH AS THIS MAN WHO WRITES A BOOK INTENDED TO BE A SCANDAL SHEET. HE TAKES OUR PRESIDENTS AND DISTORTS, EXAGGERATES AND IN SOME CASES FABRICATES TALES WHICH TO ME ARE SICKENING. I DO NOT THINK M UCH OF AN AUTHOR WHO DECEIVES THE PUBLIC TO MAKE MONEY. THIS WORK DISGUSTS ME..NOT THE PEOPLE IN THE BOOK...BUT THE AUTHOR. IT IS FURTHER DISGUSTING THAT PEOPLE BUY THIS TRASH. IT GOES RIGHT INTO THE FIREPLACE IN MY HOUSE. ..IF HE INDEED GOT SOME OF THIS INFORMATION FROM SECRET SERVICE AGENTS THEN THEY ARE EVEN MORE OF A DISGRACE AS THEY ARE SWORN TO SECRECY...WHAT HALLUCINATIONS THEY HAVE! IT JUST SHOWS THAT ANYONE CAN MAKE MONEY BY EXPLOITATION. FOR ME I FEEL IT IS ACT OF TREASON IN THAT IT SPREADS FABRICATIONS THAT SOME PEOPLE IN MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD THINK ARE TRUTH...SHAME ON YOU. KESSLER...WHERE IS YOUR PATRIOTISM?

Audio Book Review
This book is interesting due to the stories told but the narrator (remember my review is of the audio book CD version) is so monotone with no emotion at all. If he is describing Mrs. Clinton being rude, the affair of John F. Kennedy, or what someone had for lunch that day it's all the same tone. If you are going to read an e-book you should have some emotion and a voice that keeps the reader interested.
