In Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate, Gary reveals what he observed of Hillary Clinton’s character and the culture inside of the White House as he protected the First Family in this book.

As he served as a Secret Service Officer, Gary protected President Bill Clinton and the First Family in the White House and outside The Oval Office. There, he saw all of the personal and political machinations of Hillary and Bill and those that were fiercely loyal to them. In this book, he provides a firsthand account of the scandals (both known and unknown) and daily trials ranging from the minor to national in scale.

Having witnessed the political and personal dysfunction of Clinton White House, so consumed by scandal and destroying their foes (imagined and real) Gary came to comprehend that, to the Clinton family, governing was just an afterthought. He now tells this story, before voters can go to the polls, in hopes they’ll understand the true Hillary Clinton.

Secrets of the Secret Service: The History and Uncertain Future of the US Secret Service is an explosive expose of the Secret Service. The US Secret Service is tasked with protecting our Presidents, their families, and the complex in which they work and live. Given such an important mission, world stability rests on the agents’ shoulders.

Gary takes readers behind the scenes to better comprehend the agency’s history and today’s security failings which he believes put Americans as a whole at risk. The American public knows the stories about Secret Service heroism, however they do not know about the hidden legacy of issues which have plagued the agency since it was created.

Gary says that decades of catastrophic public failures, near misses, as well as cultural and bureaucratic rot threaten to erode this critical organization from the inside out. Today, while it works protecting President Trump, the Secret Service is at a crossroads, and the time that’s needed to pick the right course is running out. Officers and agents are leaving the Secret Service in droves, or getting overworked to the point where they lose focus on their job. Management makes choices based on politics and not their employees’ welfare.

Gary believes this means danger for the women and men of the Secret Service, danger for the President they’re supposed to protect, and danger for the nation. He shares in this book what he’s witnessed and learned about the Secret Service with hopes that the issues of this most important agency can get fixed before time runs out.
