Acerca de esta escucha

When shots rang out in Dallas, Texas, during the tragic assassination of President John F. Kennedy, US Secret Service Agent Rufus W. Youngblood immediately lunged over his seat in the vice president's car and bravely used his body to shield Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. Faced with the unknown, Youngblood maintained this protective position as their car sped toward Parkland Hospital, following the presidential limousine. Throughout the course of that fateful day, Youngblood vigilantly remained by LBJ's side to ensure his safety.

This candid memoir includes Youngblood's firsthand account of the Kennedy assassination and its aftermath. While highlighting his 20-year career in the Secret Service during which he protected Presidents Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon, Youngblood describes the complexities, risks, and constant tensions involved in protecting America's chief executive. Along with several humorous anecdotes, archival audio inserts enhance this personalized journey through a critical period in American history.

The behind-the-scenes story from his perspective is insightful inspirational patriotic eye-opening and just overall incredible. I’ve always had a high respect for the Secret Service but even more so now. This book is well written. The narrator kept me engaged. More than well worth the credit I used to purchase it.

Mr. Youngblood takes listeners inside the Secret Service during his twenty years as an agent. The narration and stories are eye-opening and provide a better understanding of the men occupying the Oval Office. Get an inside view of the Eisenhower, Truman, Kennedy, LBJ, and Nixon administrations as told by their protection details.

Fascinating and Enjoyable.

I chose Rufus Youngbloods’s book because I found Clint Hill’s books to be so very good. I find today’s president and vice President to be so awful that it is soothing to listen to books from such wonderful people. My thanks to these secret service people. May America get through these troubled time.

The wonderful people of the Secret Servive

I grew up during the years that Youngblood was in the Secret Service, so I found his story very interesting. The only negative was that the narrator lacks the voice to carry it. Still, it is worth listening to. It just doesn't make we want to get in the car and drive, so I can listen.
I really liked hearing the audio with him and Lyndon Johnson. You can't get that from a print book.

Good book, but it need a better reader.

I loved it, Clint Hills forward was a neat perspective of what it was like to be with my grandfather. He really brought out his character. I loved the new preface that was added also, by my Aunt Rebecca. Really cool how you described his reflexes as, "Hercules like Reflexes ." I had read my grandfather's book a few times before and loved the option of listening to it this time. Making this an audible book was a great idea. You really get a good history lesson at the same time and my grandfather makes light of the most difficult situations with a smooth southern dry wit. From Truman unable to resist his urge to, "tickle the ivories," to "people in nudists colonies don't stare." If, you are contemplating reading or listening to it, don't hesitate, you will love it!!!

Great first hand look into the USSS
