[.ca] True Blue: Police Stories by Those Who Have Lived Them (ISBN 0312995377)

Power and Truth:
You may call me biased, because I'm one of the authors in True Blue. ("The Emotional Switch" Page 32.) However, the stories by my fellow author/police officers included in True Blue, beat anything I've read in terms of power, valor and truth. Randy Sutton's, "Her Name Was Jackie" is one of many such. This book will make you laugh, upset your viewpoint and let you know what it's like to be on the gritty, and often extreme end of both cops and citizen's real life stories. All proceeds from this book go to the survivors of police officers killed in the Sept. 11th attacks. Randy Sutton wrote in my copy of True Blue, "Thanks for being part of the True Blue Family." No Randy. I'm honored. You, Cassie Wells, St. Martin's Press, and all those who buy this book are making a positive difference by giving back to surviving police families who've all lost and given so much.

sad stories.:
Most of the stories in this book are sad and some of them are funny. I recomend this book to people who think of the officers who risked their lives in 9/11.

Worth the read!:
An excellent "story" book for law enforcement officers, their families, their friends, and the general public! My family includes several generations and types of cops, including a husband who retired as a sergeant after 25 years of service and a son who is now a young patrol officer making his own way and earning his own memories.... I am blessed to count many friends within the LEO community where I served alongside them during my own career. I grew up with them, lived with them, and worked with them. I have always known that cops were human.

Excellent:
Very good book. A quick read because of the short stories. Gives a nice outlook on Police life, the funny, the sad and the amazing. I wished that there was more stories to read. Just the right amount of 9/11 stories which are sad to read.

Be Prepared for Real Life Cop Stories:
Some of these stories brought tears to my eyes--a few made me laugh out loud. If you want to learn about the emotions behind the badge, this is the book to read. Marilyn Meredith Author of the Deputy Tempe Crabtree series http://fictionforyou.com
