Leaders and Legends

A few years ago, we posted an interview with President John F. Kennedy Secret Service Agent Clint Hill and his co-author Lisa McCubbin Hill; just this month Agent Hill has released a new book titled “My Travels with Mrs. Kennedy” and in honor of his new effort, we are re-posting our “Leaders and Legends” conversation with Clint. He and his wife were fabulous guests who were very forthcoming not only about the events of November 22, 1963, but also the process of writing history as Clint lived it.  You may buy Agent Hill’s new book at: https://clinthillsecretservice.com/books/.
