Описание:
This book was written primarily for the non-police reader. However, it was subjected to "peer review" for accuracy and content. Read what experienced law enforcement professionals say about "Cop Talk." None have received any compensation for their opinions.
"Most people's opinion of police work is derived from the embellished concept delivered daily by Hollywood to our theaters and television. Sergeant Bob Sherman's reflective writing style places the reader next to him as he patrols the streets. He delivers the unpredictable events that interject themselves into the daily life of a police officer. From the need to be able to make "split second" decisions under pressure to being able to laugh at the follies of mankind, his concise writing of each chapter allows the reader to set the book down and pick it up later without missing a "beat" and begin a new adventure." James M. Paoletti, Chicago Police Department, Captain (retired) / Chief of Police, Crete Illinois (retired)
"Sergeant Bob Sherman writes with meticulous attention to detail, a realistic approach, and sound police tactics. His straightforward style provides a safe haven for readers to experience the life of a career police officer." Undersheriff Bob Peterson, Orange County, California, Sheriff 's Office
"Sergeant Bob's book draws you right in Finishing one chapter, you are keen to see what the next one is all about. A lot of policing between the USA and the United Kingdom is so similar, but for the carrying of firearms and the onerous responsibilities when they are used and discharged." Constable Roger Parker, Retired Patrol Officer, Police Vehicle Technology Specialist, Central Motorway Police Group, England

Описание:
Loner is a personal memoir of one man's experience in South Vietnam and the aftermath of serious injury. Told with authentic detail, humor, and pathos, it is the story of an ordinary grunt in an extraordinary situation. From the danger of patrols with Charlie Company, One Five, to the nightmare of the screaming wards of Philadelphia Naval Hospital, this is a fascinating glimpse of a typical Marine's life in wartime and an intense inside view of a survivor's recovery. Spanning only eighteen months but taking over thirty years to write, this is a memorable account of how it was for Staff Sergeant John Mullan.
About the Author:
John Mullan was born in Detroit, Michigan, saw his first parade on VE Day in 1945, and decided to become a Marine when he was ten years old. With a family move, he entered a new school and quickly learned how to be a loner--to be alone and make it on his own. He joined the Marine Corps at age seventeen, met his future wife on his first leave home, and married three years later. After a variety of assignments, he landed the perfect position of recruiter back home. Orders for Vietnam in 1967 resulted in five months of battle experience, three Purple Hearts, and severe injuries including brain damage which required many years of recovery. John considers being retired from the Marine Corps to be the single worst event in his life, but he put his life back together. After completing college, he held a position with the U.S. Post Office for over twenty years and raised four children with his wife Catherine. Awarded the Bronze Star with combat V, John remains devoted to the Marine Corps.
In this new war, the battlefield of the mind, hope would become my new ammunition, and the mission field would be the centerpiece of my new battlefield.
A proud Marine since right out of high school, Aaron Quinonez (Sgt Q) was trained to fight the enemy and was prepared for war. When he volunteered for a combat tour in Iraq, little did he know his real battle would be fought in his mind. After eight years of military service, Sgt Q suffered from depression, anger, and panic attacks and was diagnosed with PTSD. He nearly ended his own life in the parking lot of a church, where later he was redeemed by Jesus Christ, who gave him a new life.
Sgt Q traded the battlefield for the mission field and found healing and purpose through building homes and churches, feeding children, and supplying precious hope to struggling communities worldwide. God then called him to form QMissions, a pathway for veterans--Sgt Q's fellow warfighters--to replace the battle scars of their minds with the joy of serving. In Healing thru Service, you'll find:
personal recons--Sgt Q's anecdotes and adventures
scientific research on recovering from PTSD and using hope to create new, positive triggers
the award-winning step-by-step process of healing through mission service, leading to a life of gratitude, fulfillment, and purpose
Although originally aimed at struggling veterans, this book also offers help for anyone in crisis and may be your ticket to a more fulfilled life.
Описание: War hero, Medal of Honor recipient, and subject of an Oscar-winning film, Sgt. Alvin York was the most famous soldier of his generation.

Untouched by German gunfire, York faced destruction from disease, disrespect, and the IRS. Sgt. York: His Life, Legend, and Legacy reveals the whole story of this great American figure based on original battlefield eyewitness reports, Hollywood archives, and interviews with Yorks family and friends. This new edition includes a message from Yorks ninety-year-old son, Andrew Jackson York.

Описание:
Ned, the newsboy, bastard son of a whiskey-swilling prostitute in the small mountain town of Glen Alpine, NC, is befriended by the town's only doctor, who becomes his mentor. They adopt an Army dog called Dawg, whose master, a disabled Army sergeant, has mysteriously disappeared. Only Dawg knows the secret of the disappearance of Sgt. Robert Penton. The Veterans Affairs office mistakes Ned for the disabled sergeant and awards him a large pension, but Ned loses the money to a blackmailer who knows he's an imposter. He continues to live as Sgt. Robert Penton, marries, and has a son. In time, the father becomes ill, and his identity is suspect when his blood type does not match the one listed in the sergeant's records. In delirium before death, Ned confesses the fraud and reveals the blackmail. His son becomes a physician and joins the medical practice originally established by the physician who had befriended his father in his youth. Dawg took the secret of the sergeant's disappearance to his grave but forever haunts the town as he marches with the ghost of the sergeant on the parade ground of the old Army base near Glen Alpine.
