Books on executive protection/bodyguarding (Secret Service style)

OK, so. For yet more of the stories I'm writing, I want to do a bit from the perspective not of the principal who's protected, but from the perspective of the bodyguard/executive protection team.

The problem is, I can find nothing on how bodyguarding by the Secret Service, or their equivalents in the UK/Israel/etc, actually works...

Anybody know of any good books, preferably in a Kindle format?

I seem to remember a few mentions in Gavin Becker's The Gift of Fear. The website of his company lists that book at

as well as Just 2 Seconds "an essential guide for protectors of at-risk people".
