Best police book I have read,
By John Knowles (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Soldier of the City: A True Police Journey of Humor, Tragedy and Courage (Paperback)
I have read many police books, but this is by far the most fun to read. I truly could not put it down. The funny stuff was hilarious and the heavy stuff was gripping. As a retired officer, it took me back to my time on the street with absolute accuracy. If you are a cop you will love it, and if not you will still get a bang out of it.

Puts a needed human face on the police,
By A Cop Lady (Lafayette, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Soldier of the City: A True Police Journey of Humor, Tragedy and Courage (Paperback)
This book is not only great reading, but it puts a real human face and voice on police officers. It's about time. The total absence of any tired old police cookie cutter images was wonderful to behold. I get the feeling I could sit down with the writer and listen to stories for hours. This is the next best thing.
