ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service by Carol Leonnig delves into the turbulent history of the U.S. Secret Service. Beginning with the agency's overhaul following the assassination of President Kennedy, the narrative traces its evolution into an elite protective force. However, the book reveals a troubling decline over subsequent decades, marked by scandals, mismanagement, and internal strife. Leonnig exposes the challenges and failures within the Secret Service, from a toxic work environment to outdated resources, as it grapples with its crucial mission of safeguarding the President and national security through various administrations up to the January 6th Capitol insurrection.
