Description: According to the author, in order to be a successful police officer, you have to be tough, but you have to be tolerant too. If you don't like the law and fight it rather than enforce it, the police force is the wrong place for you. The book looks at what law and order have meant for the past thirty years to Atlanta, Georgia in general and to the author in particular and what has worked to keep the peace. The author has been through the police movement from the Ku Klux Klan and the white-racism that contributed to social unrest to sit-in, demonstrations, and protest marches.
Notes: Autobiographical.
