Mike Reilly and the Boss The Secret Service Chief
Mike Reilly, longtime chief of the White House detail for Franklin D. Roosevelt, was renowned for deep loyalty and bold actions to protect the president. He oversaw covert upgrades to Roosevelt’s transport, including a reinforced, bombproof Pullman and a custom cruiser with a submarine hatch, and accompanied the president to Yalta and Livadia. Reilly’s devotion persisted after FDR’s death, and he lived quietly in Washington until dying last week.
