June 17, 2016 - It’s History in Five Friday, presented by Simon & Schuster.

Today, author Clint Hill shares his eyewitness accounts and recollections during his time on the Secret Service detail of our commanders-in-chief. The book is titled, Five Presidents My Extraordinary Journey with Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, and Ford. Mr. Hill previously joined us to discuss his time as the Secret Service agent assigned to protect Mrs. Kennedy on the day JFK was shot. He's the man seen leaping onto the back of the car after the fatal shots rang out in Dealey Plaza.

He tells that story in his previous book, Five Days in November, a follow-up on his previous recollections in the #1 New York Times best-seller, Mrs. Kennedy and Me. You can follow today's guest on Twitter @ClintHill_SS or check out ClintHillSecretService.com.
