Michael Daly provides a very human take on the rigors and realities members of enforcement face in America’s largest city.
Daly, an award-winning journalist, masterfully knits together such riveting accounts of officers who served during New York’s most turbulent eras, much as I do in my book, pulling together a well-rounded effort from these dramatic settings to the human accounts of those who served.
