One of the better NYPD memoirs written in recent years. Excellent little stories from life in the NYPD Emergency Services Unit. Very interesting and a rather short book that is easy to read in a couple sittings. Two thumbs up for Officer Al Sheppard! =) Thank God for men and women like him in blue...they are America's true heroes!

5.0 out of 5 stars E-Man is an Excellent Book!, January 30, 2008

Retired NYPD Det. Al Sheppard is too humble to say so...but he is a True Hero! E-Man is an excellent book...a riveting account of his years with the prestigious Emergency Services Unit of the NYPD. There is an old saying "When a Civilian needs help, they call the Police. When Cops need help...they call the Emergency Services Unit...ESU!" I've known Al for some 17 years...and although I knew a lot about his 20 years of service with NYPD, even I didn't know most of his (and his fellow officer's) courageous exploits...detailed in this book. Buy it, read it, but be warned...You will have trouble putting this book down! --- Dr. J. Hill, Professor of Criminal Justice & Retired NJ Street Cop.

I just reread the book in its new edition. I have to say it is by far the best description of life on the mean streets of the Big Apple that I have ever read. You can not put this book down and I can see myself reading it over and over as I try to remember the people who make our country great. Al Sheppard is a true hero and the funny part is I bet he doesn't even realize it. Read this book!
