The audiobook for MP3 is read by Jeremy Robb, truly excellent narrator. Never having been a great fan of the Kennedy family, I was curious and glad I listened to this account. Clint Hill is highly professional, careful, yet generous in his backward looking assessment. The reassessment of my opinion so late in time was rewarding. He did not chose this assignment, but was directed by his higher command. I was very surprised to realize the Secret Service officers were so poorly paid, even considering 1960's era. $12 per day, did not cover the bare necessities. These men (and women) gave their lives, literally, in this service to president they may not have even voted for or respected. Were any of them married, they spent more time with the president's family than their own. Little wonder so few marriages of this type of government employ last. It will be decades before any stories appear regarding current times.
