Starling of the White House: The story of the man whose Secret Service detail guarded five presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Franklin D. Roosevelt

About this book

Colonel Edmund W. Starling joined the White House Secret Service Detail during Woodrow Wilson's first term and remained through Franklin D. Roosevelt's third. His record as personal bodyguard to Wilson won him the position as head of the Detail, and in that capacity he found himself in daily contact with five successive Presidents—Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, and Roosevelt. This is his story of all the private inside stuff he heard and saw.
