3.0 out of 5 stars Flawed, but nonetheless enjoyable., June 28, 2006
This review is from: Criminal Investigation Detachment (Paperback)
I really liked this book. It is a good entry into the growing genre of the "Martial arts thriller". I like the main character Bobby Samuels. I love the action and the story line. My only gripe is that some of the dialogue is a bit drawn out and unrealistic. An example of this is the joke about the little girl with the puppy. I also thought that the demise of the villian was anticlimactic. Other then that, the book is a good read and I look forward to the next entry in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars terrific look at CID, January 5, 2006
This review is from: Criminal Investigation Detachment (Paperback)
At Fort Benning, Criminal Investigation Detachment Major Bobby Samuels successfully completes a disgusting case involving a commanding officer abusing his position of authority to almost rape a direct-reports enlisted soldier. After reading the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) rights to Colonel Rodriguez, Smith leaves Fort Benning to return to his duty station the Pentagon. Bobby thinks his late wife would have supported his return to active military after 9/11 as a CID cop, having been an LAPD civilian homicide detective, and not a Special Forces soldier as he was during his first tour.

Commanding General of the US Forces in Iraq Jonathan Perry briefs Samuels on his next Top Secret assignment. Samuels is to go undercover as an enlisted man to investigate several bombs that killed Americans in the Baghdad Green Zone and other locations in Iraq. Working undercover he must identity the Saboteur who probably is an Al-Qaeda operative working inside.

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DETACHMENT is a terrific look at the work of the CID, insight into the UCMJ, and from a military perspective the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) especially in Iraq. Though prejudiced on the side that the war in Iraq is just and part of the GWOT (reminiscent of Sergeant Barry Sadler's Ballad Of the Green Berets), the story line is action-packed as Major Samuels tries to uncover who the saboteur is. The hero is a fabulous ethical patriot trying to do the right honorable thing for his country and for the military. Readers whether they agree with Don Bendell's position on Iraq or not will agree that he has written a delightful military police procedural that provides insight into those who really have sacrificed plenty during the GWOT.
