Episode 19: The History and Inner Workings of the U.S. Secret Service With Carol Leonnig

  • サマリー

  • In this episode, Pulitzer Prize winning, New York Times bestselling author, Carol Leonnig discusses her new book: “Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service,” in which she pulls back the curtain on the history, inner workings, and culture of the US Secret Service. For the last decade Carol has been reporting on the Secret Service for the Washington Post. In “Zero Fail” she has written the definitive account of the scandals and shortcomings that have plagued the government agency tasked with protecting our democracy and continuity of government. Her descriptions of the relationship each presidential administration has had with the Secret Service represents a broad swath of American history that has gone largely unexamined. In story after story she vividly describes the heroics and stumbles of an agency constantly strapped for resources and often undermined by politics and a toxic work culture. Written with the cooperation of current and former Secret Service agents, her book is part tribute and part public warning about one of our country’s most essential agencies.
