NOVEL - What It Takes to Protect a U.S. President

"Novel Examines What It Takes to Protect a President From Assassination" PBS Newshour 2/11/2013

Excerpt

JUDY WOODRUFF (Newshour):  A bestselling novelist tackles the subject of protecting the president in the modern age.

The threats against a president have long captured the darker side of writers' imaginations.  In his new thriller, "The Fifth Assassin," Brad Meltzer explores those questions, too, as his protagonist tries to stop a fictional killer.  But, in this case, Meltzer benefited from the helpful advice of a former president and the perspective of the Secret Service.

Jeffrey Brown sat down with Meltzer recently for our book conversation.
