Summary

Secret Service Stories explores the evolution of the United States Secret Service, detailing its transformation from an agency combating financial crimes like counterfeiting after the Civil War to the elite protective force safeguarding national leaders. The book reveals the complex political landscape in which the Secret Service operates, highlighting the immense responsibility agents bear in protecting the executive branch and maintaining national security. It emphasizes how the agency's role has adapted over time in response to evolving threats, including assassinations and the rise of cybercrime.

 
The book examines several significant events that challenged the Secret Service, such as the Kennedy assassination, which led to significant changes in protective strategies. By drawing upon official documents, after-action reports, and interviews, Secret Service Stories provides a balanced perspective on the agency's successes and failures. It navigates the ongoing debates surrounding resource allocation and effectiveness, while offering insights into the agency's role in maintaining public trust across its chapters.

 
The book progresses systematically. It begins with the Secret Service's foundational elements, then unpacks significant historical events, and concludes by examining contemporary challenges. This approach allows readers to understand the historical context, operational realities, and political implications of the Secret Service's mission.

    In this innovative and concise work, Israeli politician Benjamin Netanyahu offers a compelling approach to understanding and fighting the increase in domestic and international terrorism throughout the world. Citing diverse examples from around the globe, Netanyahu demonstrates that domestic terrorist groups are usually no match for an advanced technological society which can successfully roll back terror without any significant curtailment of civil liberties. But Netanyahu sees an even more potent threat from the new international terrorism which is increasingly the product of Islamic militants, who draw their inspiration and directives from Iran and its growing cadre of satellite states. The spread of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism, coupled with the possibility that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons, poses a more frightening threat from an adversary less rational and therefore less controllable than was Soviet Communism. How democracies can defend themselves against this new threat concludes this provocative book.

    The first major book on the uprisings in Iran in 2022 and 2023 
 
On Tuesday 13 September 2022, all Mahsa Amini has planned is a day shopping in Tehran. Her birthday is next week. But she is arrested as she comes out of the subway – the Guidance Patrol deem her hijab inadequate. On Friday she is pronounced dead. By Sunday, women have taken to the streets across Iran, setting their headscarves on fire and cursing the Supreme Leader. Months later, workers down their tools and businesses close. The battle-cry everywhere: Women, Life, Freedom. 
 
This isn’t a passing protest wave; something has changed irrevocably. Arash Azizi guides us through Iran ablaze, history being made in real time. From an International Women’s Day celebrated inside Iran’s most notorious prison to mass strikes in Kurdistan, ordinary Iranians are taking risks to fight for a better future.  
 
Even as the regime spills blood in retaliation, Iranians have not given up. Today one thing’s clear: no Supreme Leader can turn the clock back. A different Iran is within sight; Azizi shows us what it might look like.
