The United States Secret Service

By Walter S. and Harry Edward Neal Bowen and Harry Edward Neal

Book Overview

The United States Secret Service, 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.
