Well Written! April 2, 2000
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a well written, compelling study of early attempts at police reform in the 1960s. A wonderful analysis of the failures of American liberalism and very interesting biography of a true unheralded American hero, George Edwards, Jr., who attempted to change the tragic course of Detroit history and for a short time looked might he succeed. An excellent read! Highly recommended. This reviewer is looking forward to the next book.
