Walking with Presidents: Stories from Inside the Perimeter, by Michael Endicott, chronicles the extraordinary career of an American original. From 1967 until 1986, author Michael Endicott sat watch over Presidents, Vice Presidents, and a Secretary of State. In these years, across a hundred foreign nations, and through every state of the Union, author Endicott carried out his duty during some of the most harrowing times of the Twentieth Century. From Vietnam, political assassinations, Presidential scandal, and retirement discussions with former President Nixon, Endicott has seen it all and has lived a life worthy of a Hollywood movie. Walking with Presidents puts a personal face on those who were protected and a very public face on the inner workings of the U.S. Secret Service. The result is a fascinating and intimate portrait of a man, his times, and the noble spirit of those who serve and protect. This is a gallant book sure to please memoir fans and history buffs alike.

In the last weeks of the 1960 presidential race, Louis Martin pulled off a minor miracle. With two days to go before the election, this passionate civil rights advocate and Democratic activists put two million pamphlets into the hands of black voters across America, informing them of Senator John F. Kennedy's sympathetic phone call to Martin Luther King, Jr., then languishing in a Georgia prison. The center of gravity in black partisan support shifted, and Kennedy won by a hair. This is just one example of the remarkable influence Louis Martin had on national politics for more than four decades. Now, for the first time, the story of Louis Martin's life is told. Walking with Presidents traces the career of an African American who rose from crusading journalist to preeminent presidential advisor and civil rights liason in the Kennedy, Johnson, and Carter administrations. Martin was the consummate insider, unconcerned about who got credit for his work so long as he could advance his mission--bringing African Americans into the political mainstream.

Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ... WHITE HOUSE MEMORIES OF PRESIDENT GARFIELD AND PRESIDENT ARTHUR One of the first evidences I had that President Garfield's family had taken up their home life in the White House occurred a few days after the fourth of March, 1881, when the new President was inaugurated. On the third of March, President Hayes had given a great banquet in honor of the incoming administration, and the office force was trying to settle down to routine, when I happened to go on an errand which took me along the great corridor running through the main floor of the Executive Mansion. I was walking rapidly, thinking hard about the errand, looking neither to the right nor to the left, when suddenly, just as I reached the foot of the grand staircase leading to the living rooms of the President's family on the floor above, I was startled by a shrill cry of warning shouted in a boyish voice: "Hoop-la!! Get off the track or you '11 be run down!" Without an instant's hesitation I sprang to one side, and as I did so quickly glanced upward. And there, perched on one of the old-fashioned bicycles with a high wheel, was President Garfield's young son Irving, coasting down that staircase like lightning. In an instant he had reached the foot of it, " zipped" across the broad corridor, and with skill little short of marvelous turned into the East Room, the flashing steel spokes of his wheel vanishing like the tail of a comet. I stood still for a moment and gasped. I confess that I was paralyzed for that moment. That any small boy, even a son of the President of the United States, would dare to start at the head of that great staircase on a bicycle and coast down it was almost unbelievable; and that he would do so as successfully as a trained circus performer was beyond my...

Make no mistake: Our founding fathers were more bandanas-and-muscles than powdered-wigs-and-tea. As a prisoner of war, Andrew Jackson walked several miles barefoot across state lines while suffering from smallpox and a serious head wound received when he refused to polish the boots of the soldiers who had taken him captive. He was thirteen years old. A few decades later, he became the first popularly elected president and served the nation, pausing briefly only to beat a would-be assassin with a cane to within an inch of his life. Theodore Roosevelt had asthma, was blind in one eye, survived multiple gunshot wounds, had only one regret (that there were no wars to fight under his presidency), and was the first U.S. president to win the Medal of Honor, which he did after he died. Faced with the choice, George Washington actually preferred the sound of bullets whizzing by his head in battle over the sound of silence. And now these men—these hallowed leaders of the free world—want to kick your ass. Plenty of historians can tell you which president had the most effective economic strategies, and which president helped shape our current political parties, but can any of them tell you what to do if you encounter Chester A. Arthur in a bare-knuckled boxing fight? This book will teach you how to be better, stronger, faster, and more deadly than the most powerful (and craziest) men in history. You’re welcome.

Which presidents were the best for America…and which were the worst? Most historians of the American presidency—walking in lockstep with today’s hard-Left academic establishment—favor presidents who were big-government statists and globalists. They dislike presidents who lowered taxes, protected American workers, and avoided getting the United States entangled in foreign conflicts that had nothing to do with protecting the American people. It is through that prism that they see all of American history. It’s time for a change. Nowadays, with socialism massively discredited and internationalism facing more opposition than it has since before World War II, it’s time to reevaluate what the Leftist historians have told us. Donald Trump was elected president pledging to put America First, as any nation’s leader should put his or her own people first. There needs to be an America-First reevaluation of him and his predecessors. This book, therefore, rates the presidents not on the basis of criteria developed by socialist internationalist historians, but on their fidelity to the United States Constitution and to the powers, and limits to those powers, of the president as delineated by the Founding Fathers. America’s presidents are rated on the extent to which they put America First—not in the sense of a narrow isolationism, but whether they really advanced the interests of the American people. This upends the conventional wisdom about a great deal of American history and present-day reality, and is intended to do so. This book offers what should be the only criteria for rating the occupants of the White House: were they good for America?
