Bøker av Howard Saffold

Tensions between the Black Community and Chicago's majority-white police force have continued to escalate through the years. From the late 60's through the early 90's, those tensions grew to an all time high.In this explosive memoir, Howard recounts, not only the battles, the lawsuits, and the negotiations that resulted in more accountability in the police department, but also the racism within the ranks which often brought him and his fellow Afro American Police League members into the line of fire. For those who lived through those times, reliving that era through the experiences of a former Black cop will gibe you a whole new perspective. For others, throughout the nation, this will serve as a history lesson and an upfront, close-up look into the Chicago you've only heard about, the real Chicago and its Police, Prisons, Politics and Power.
