The United States Secret Service

<p><strong>The United States Secret Service</strong> first published in 1960 is a fascinating look at the activities of this branch of the Treasury Department. From the establishment of the Service through the 1950s the book examines the Service's history: from assassination attempts and protecting the President to crime-fighting responsibilities such as finding counterfeit currency investigating fraud and government corruption. Several chapters describe efforts by the Nazis and the Soviet Union to produce high-quality counterfeit currency in an effort to destabilize the U.S. economy. Included are an index and 12 pages of illustrations. Authors Walter Bowen and Harry Neal were long-time members of the Service.</p>
