In the President's Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect.
I listened to the audiobook version of it a few years back, it's quite good. And yeah, by many reports (not just from this book), Hillary treated people like shit behind the scenes.
This book may interest you as well. Opinions on presidents written by their former protection details.
Thisa story would inspire a series however.
The Secret Service is no longer a part of the Treasury and is now run under Homeland Security.
I read In the President's Secret Service, a book that takes a look at the birth of the USSS to the modern USSS under Homeland Security and agents that were interviewed and the author all reach the same conclusion - putting the USSS under HS was a huge mistake. The USSS is also still very old fashioned and has not modernized its personnel management in the same way the FBI has, leaving the USSS with a huge attrition rate. USSS agents are extremely valuable because of their training and other agencies and private companies snatch them up whenever they can, making this attrition rate even higher since there is little incentive provided to agents to stay in the Service.
Give the book a read - it's very well written and very interesting. I had a flight from the US to Europe and finished pretty much the entire book while flying over the Atlantic since I couldn't put it down.
If you're curious, there's a book of interviews with secret service agents thnat detail the lives of several former presidents in borderline gossipy detail, including the Clintons.
Not so much
Have you ever read In The President's Secret Service?
I feel like your time in Intelligence would be very interesting. Life of a Real-Life Spy. Maybe telling some back story of your growing up and getting your start in the Army. The key is still having a story arc so you can make it interesting.
It was in the actual suitcases being carried and loaded by others. This and much more documented here:
