保护总统候选人:从肯尼迪到拜登(True/Retail EPUB)

English | January 4th, 2023 | ISBN: 1399014080 | 376 pages | True EPUB | 6.65 MB

Protecting the Presidential Candidates is the first book of its kind to examine how presidents and presidential candidates were protected during the presidential election cycles – from JFK to Biden. It is also the first book of its kind to tell the story of the role of state troopers and private bodyguards in protecting presidential candidates.

Protection for candidates changed and evolved from the free-wheeling style of the 1950s and early 1960s, which afforded presidential candidates little or no protection, to the growth of bodyguard personnel, increased intelligence facilities and state of the art technology employed today to keep the candidates safe. Presidential candidates relish connecting with the public and it has given greater visibility to the bodyguards who are willing to place themselves between a presidential candidate and a would-be attacker.

In the milieu in which the Secret Service operates, bodyguards have witnessed the terrors of election campaigns when presidential candidates have waded into crowds to shake hands with their supporters, rode in open-top cars, and made sudden but risky changes to their schedules – oblivious to the fact that in every campaign there have been people stalking candidates with ill intent.

Many stories revealed in Protecting the Presidential Candidates have remained largely hidden from the public; some buried in newspaper archives and others in oral histories, presidential libraries or official government documents. The author draws on numerous sources, including FBI files, presidential biographies, vice presidential biographies, civilian bodyguard memoirs, Secret Service agent memoirs, White House staff memoirs and more so that these stories can now be told.

The book also allows readers to gain an insight into the personal as well as professional relationships between the candidate and the bodyguards who protected them. Some candidates were so trusting of their bodyguards they embraced them as part of an ‘inner circle’ of advisers. Bodyguards have also witnessed embarrassing moments in a candidate’s campaign and how intrusive they have been at the most delicate of moments. "The president’s day is your day," one agent said. "Nobody sees the president the way an agent does."

中文| 2023年1月4日|国际标准图书编号:1399014080 | 376页|真正的EPUB | 6.65 MB 《保护总统候选人》是同类书籍中第一本研究从肯尼迪到拜登的总统选举周期中总统和总统候选人如何受到保护的书。这也是第一本讲述州警和私人保镖在保护总统候选人方面作用的书。 对候选人的保护发生了变化,从20世纪50年代和60年代初的自由主义风格演变而来,这种风格为总统候选人提供了很少或根本没有保护,到如今保镖人员的增加、情报设施的增加和最先进的技术来保护候选人的安全。总统候选人喜欢与公众联系,这让那些愿意站在总统候选人和潜在袭击者之间的保镖们更加引人注目。 在特勤局运作的环境中,保镖们目睹了竞选活动的恐怖,当时总统候选人挤进人群与支持者握手,乘坐敞篷车,突然但危险地改变他们的日程安排——忘记了这样一个事实,即在每一场竞选中,都有人恶意跟踪候选人。 《保护总统候选人》中披露的许多故事在很大程度上对公众保密;有些埋在报纸档案馆,有些埋在口述历史、总统图书馆或官方政府文件中。作者引用了许多来源,包括联邦调查局档案、总统传记、副总统传记、平民保镖回忆录、特勤局特工回忆录、白宫工作人员回忆录等,以便现在可以讲述这些故事。 这本书还让读者了解候选人和保护他们的保镖之间的个人和职业关系。一些候选人非常信任他们的保镖,他们将他们视为顾问“核心圈子”的一部分。保镖们也目睹了候选人竞选中的尴尬时刻,以及他们在最微妙的时刻是多么的侵扰。“总统日就是你的日子,”一名特工说。“没有人像特工那样看待总统。”
