Memoirs are good for many things. You can learn about people such as their past and or current life, their perspective of different subjects, and maybe how they feel about their future. And maybe learn something from them yourself. What can they teach you? What wisdom can they pass on even though they themselves may not know?
This book had a lot going for it. The author opened himself up about his struggles not only as a person but as a police officer. These worlds, which we are always told to keep separate, unfortunately blended together from time to time. The writing was very well written and, as the reader, you can feel everything alongside him.
This memoir follows the different stages of the author’s life and his career. The best and worse parts of being a police officer throughout the years and how fast things happen. The rollercoaster of his personal life and how he overcame it by making the change himself. This book also shares the best and worse in people as a country, city, community and individuals.
This memoir was a good read. It gave the reader a behind-the-scenes view of how law enforcement works. I think the author did a brave thing to write openly about his struggles in not only his personal life but also his career. The stories he told in here not only were eye opening but also heart felt. This is the reason I love reading about people. You never know what you may learn from them.
I recommend this book. If you love nonfiction, history, law enforcement, and memoirs, then this gem is for you.
