Story5 out of 5 stars 2,061
For four years, from the election of John Fitzgerald Kennedy until after the election of Lyndon Johnson, Clint Hill was the Secret Service agent assigned to guard the glamorous and private Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. During those four years, he went from being a reluctant guardian to a fiercely loyal watchdog and friend. Looking back, Clint Hill tells his story for the first time, offering a tender and tragic portrayal of how a Secret Service agent who started life in an orphanage became the most trusted man in the life of the First Lady who captivated first the nation and then the world.

As Clint’s words carry you from triumph to tragedy, the story of Camelot from the view from the Secret Service is a whirl. Clint Hill infamously through his body on the back of the car that day in Dallas. Listen to his story as he tells of the glory days before and the pain ever since.

Robert Iger became CEO of The Walt Disney Company in 2005, during a difficult time. Competition was more intense than ever, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger - think global - and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.

I am a former runner who lost my soul after running a marathon I didn’t prepare for. After a few years of dreading running, I was recommended this book by my cousin. I love it so much, I just went through it twice. It is inspirational, but more importantly, motivational.
In the time since I started this book, I am back running and have found the love for it I once had.
