Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service

★ Goodread’s Choice Awards – History & Biography

Carol Leonnig uses Zero Fail to investigate the Rise and Fall of the Secret Service through a carefully framed historical account. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and political science. Attention to evidence keeps the discussion anchored while allowing disagreement, uncertainty, and unintended consequences to remain visible. Together, these elements make Zero Fail an accessible guide to the subject and the questions it continues to raise.
