A Great (if not flowery) Read
Rating  (4)
Date: 2006-02-21
A compelling insiders view of the nitty gritty detail of cop-life.
Offers an interesting take on the NYPD before and after the corruption scandals of the late 70's/early 80's

A GOOD DETAIL OF ONE LAWMANS WORK AGAINST ORGANIZED CRIME. BOOK IN THE READERS VIEWPOINT IS THAT IT IS TOO HEAVILY LACED WITH KUDO'S FOR HIS PAST ASSOCIATES. FOUND LITTLE INFORMATION THAT WAS GOTTI RELATED. FEALT THE AUTHOR COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB IF THE BOOK WAS PRESENTED AS AN HONEST BIOGRAPHY OF A CRIME FIGHETER WHO BEGAN TO COME INTO GOTTI IN THE LATER YEARS OF HIS LAW ENFORCEMENT CAREER. I DON'T LIKE TO BE NEGATIVE ABOUT THE BOOK AS I HAVE THE UTMOST REPECT FOR THE MAN HAVING STUDIED SOME OF HIS PAST CLIPPINGS. I SURE WISH THE AUTHOR COULD DO A BOOK FOR US ON THE CORUPTION BETWEEN THE GAMBINO FAMILY AND THE NYPD.
