Supported by court records, newspaper archives, government reports, FBI files, and transcripts of interviews from presidential libraries, Hunting the President reveals:
- How an armed, would-be assassin stalked President Roosevelt and spent ten days waiting across the street from the White House for his chance to shoot him
- How the Secret Service foiled a plot by a Cuban immigrant who told coworkers he was going to shoot LBJ from a window overlooking the president’s motorcade route
- How a deranged man broke into Reagan’s California home and attempted to strangle the former president before he was subdued by Secret Service agents.
- In early 1992 a mentally deranged man stalking Bush turned up at the wrong presidential venue for his planned assassination attempt
- The relationships presidents held with their protectors and the effect it had on the Secret Service’s mission
