Blue

“An incisive examination of American policing…sprawling, engrossing, and highly relevant to the ongoing controversies about policing post-Ferguson.” * Kirkus (Starred Review) *“In a time when controversial police actions have virtually split America apart, it’s impossible to imagine a more important book than Joe Domanick’s Blue. His mesmerizing account of how the Los Angeles Police Department descended into fanatic racism, then was healed by new leadership’s combined commitment to fairness and common sense, is a lesson that must be learned by all of us, law enforcement officials and community activists most of all.” – Jeff Guinn, author of the New York Times bestselling Manson
