“If you want to enter hearts and minds of the men and women sworn to protect us, read True Blue. These intimate episodes, written by the law officers who lived them, are funny, sad, moving and powerful. With proceeds going to those law enforcement families who lost a hero on 9/11, everybody should own this memorable book.”—Joseph Wambaugh, author of The Onion Field and Fire Lover

“‘We live in the worst twenty minutes of someone else's life,’ writes a cop, exemplifying the honesty and directness that characterize this book. Sutton, a detective in the Las Vegas Police Department, invited cops across the U.S. to write about themselves in such a way as to answer this question: ‘How can we show who we really are to citizens and cops alike?’ The collection that resulted houses 51 responses, roughly divided into five categories: ‘Line of Duty,’ ‘The Beat,’ ‘War Stories,’ ‘Officer Down,’ and ‘Ground Zero: Stories of 9/11.’ No story is longer than 10 pages. Many are heartrending, especially the accounts of 9/11. Some are hilarious, like the way a cop convinced a nutcase that he had gotten rid of the space aliens infesting his house. All demonstrate that cops, who have reason to reflect on their experiences, are wonderful philosophers and storytellers.”—Booklist
