Walk the Blue Line: Real Cops, True Stories

By James Patterson and Matt Eversmann

Book Overview

From the #1 New York Times bestselling authors of Walk in My Combat Boots: true-life stories from the men and women who protect and serve our homes, families and communities.

Protect

These men and women are our eyes. Our ears. Our protectors. Those who wear a badge, doing their best to help people.

Serve

These cops serve their communities. They serve their country. They're in the business of saving lives--even at the risk of their own.

Defend

These patrol officers and K9 handlers, sheriffs and detectives, reveal what it's really like to wear the uniform, to carry the weight of the responsibility they've been given.

This is a calling. This is the job.

"Walk the Blue Line is the book that the law-enforcement community has been waiting for. These stories showcase the courage, the hurt, the anger and the joy that can be found in every officer's DNA--and above all, their commitment to making difficult situations a little bit better." --Jim Pasco, Executive Director, National Fraternal Order of Police

Customer Reviews

To the point

Book contains numerous vignettes recording police officers' experiences in the field. A fast- moving read by a famous author I have never read before. A review by a cop on Goodreads said he doubted the veracity of these accounts, but I researched the stories, and they are true. Makes me sympathize more with those called to protect and serve when they put their very lives on the line in a society that seems to de-value them. The greatest lesson taught in this book is to treat everyone with respect, whether you like them or loathe them.
