From the Founding Fathers to the Great Depression, three presidents have been assassinated: Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, and William McKinley. However, unknown to the general public, almost all presidents have been threatened, put in danger, or survived "near lethal approaches" during their terms. Plotting to Kill the President reveals the numerous, previously untold incidents when assassins, plotters, and individuals have threatened the lives of American presidents, from George Washington to Herbert Hoover. Mel Ayton has uncovered these episodes, including an attempt to assassinate President Hayes during his inauguration ceremony, an attempt to shoot Benjamin Harrison on the streets of Washington, an assassination attempt on President Roosevelt at the White House, and many other incidents that have never been reported or have been coveredup. Ayton also recounts the stories of Secret Service agents and bodyguards from each administration who put their lives in danger to protect the commander in chief. Plotting to Kill the President demonstrates the unsettling truth that even while the nation sleeps, those who would kill the president are often hard at work devising new schemes."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aPresidents$xAssassination$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPresidents$xAssassination attempts$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aPresidents$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aPresidents$xAssassination$xHistory. 615 0$aPresidents$xAssassination attempts$xHistory. 615 0$aPresidents 676 $a973.09/9 686 $aHIS036000$2bisacsh 700 $aAyton$b Mel$01661631 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910823196203321 996 $aPlotting to kill the president$94017682 997 $aUNINA
