Protecting the Presidential Candidates – From JFK to Biden – Mel Ayton
This is the first book of its kind to examine how presidents and presidential candidates were protected during the presidential election cycles – from JFK to Biden. It tells the story of the role of state troopers and private bodyguards in protecting presidential candidates. Protection for candidates changed and evolved from the free-wheeling style of the 1950s and early 1960s, which afforded presidential candidates little or no protection, to the growth of bodyguard personnel, increased intelligence facilities, and state-of-the-art technology employed today to keep the candidates safe.
Many stories revealed in protecting the presidential candidates have remained largely hidden from the public, some buried in newspaper archives and others in oral histories, presidential libraries, or official government documents. The author draws on numerous sources, including FBI files, presidential biographies, vice-presidential biographies, civilian bodyguard memoirs, Secret Service agent memoirs, White House staff memoirs, and more so that these stories can now be told.

Bar Kokhba – The Jew Who Defied Hadrian & Challenged the Might of Rome – Lindsay Powell
The search for the truth of the epic struggle between two strong-willed leaders over who would rule a nation. One was Hadrian, the cosmopolitan ruler of the vast Roman Empire, then at its zenith, who some regarded as divine; the other was Shim'on, a Jewish military leader in a district of a minor province, who some believed to be the King Messiah. It is also the tale of the clash of two ancient cultures. One was the conqueror, seeking to maintain control of its hard-won dominion; the other was the conquered, seeking to break free and establish a new nation: Israel.
