A propos de cet article

xiii, [3], 285, [1] pages. Footnotes. In this runaway #1 New York Times bestseller, former secret service officer Gary Byrne, who was posted directly outside President Clinton's oval office, reveals what he observed of Hillary Clinton's character and the culture inside the White House while protecting the First Family in Crisis of Character. The book rose to number two on the Amazon bestsellers list within a few days of its release. Soon after publication, the book debuted atop the New York Times Non-Fiction best seller list, and stayed on top during its second through fifth weeks. The book appeared as number one on the Publishers Weekly list. Byrne was a member of the uniformed division of the Secret Service during the Clinton administration in the 1990s. He was stationed outside the door of the Oval Office and was able to closely observe Bill and Hillary Clinton. His experiences showed him that the Clintons were unfit for high office. Byrne entered the Secret Service in 1991. He admired President George H. W. Bush, who had served in the military as a naval aviator. Bush had a sense of easy camaraderie with the law enforcement personnel who worked to protect him. Byrne also had a good relationship with first lady Barbara Bush, who would sometimes gently tease him. As a result of 9/11, airport and airplane security was vastly increased. Many Secret Service agents transferred to become air marshals protecting domestic flights. Byrne became more and more disgusted with the poor management of the Secret Service. In 2003, he joined many of his fellow agents and became an air marshal. Crisis of Character: A White House Secret Service Officer Discloses His Firsthand Experience with Hillary, Bill, and How They Operate is a best-selling 2016 book by former United States Secret Service Uniformed Division officer Gary J. Byrne with Grant M. Schmidt that purports to describe President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton as they resided in the White House during portions of the 1993-2001 Clinton administration, alleging marital infidelities on his part and an imperious manner on hers. The book also portrays a volatile relationship between the First Couple. Part of its commercial success was due to strong support from conservative media. Advance excerpts were also published in newspapers such as the Boston Herald. In addressing current affairs, in particular making reference to the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, 2016, in the context of which the book was published, Byrne concludes that from his experiences, Hillary Clinton "lacks the integrity and temperament to serve in the office". The work also includes some episodes from the author's career that took place during prior presidential administrations. First Edition [stated]. Third printing [Stated].…
