5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous, no-punches-barred scenario of NYC turnaround, 27 Jan 1998
By A Customer
Bill Bratton had an agenda, from the time he was a teenager. His mission was to be a great policeman. His autobiography candidly portrays his path to leadership of the NYC Police Department and his triumph and discoveries along the way.

This book is not only a primer for criminal justice transformation, but also a guidebook to developing leadership skills and mastering the political process while achieving political goals.

Anybody who has been to New York City in the past several years has seen the fruits of Bill Bratton's efforts. His book gives witness to the journey he and his team took to renew the world's greatest city. A great opportunity for readers to go along for the ride. <B>

5.0 out of 5 stars A well-written blend of autobiography and policy analysis., 27 Jan 1998
By A Customer
The former Commissioner of the New York Police Department takes the reader on an odyssey which was his career in American Policing. From his early years with Boston, through successful tenures with the New York Transit Police, Metro Police, the Boston Police(again)and finally the NYPD. Insightful and thoughtful comments on the role of the police in society are coupled with a sober reflection on what works in policing. With a minimal amount of personal grand-standing, Bratton does even some scores with folks who were "obstacles" in his career. A pleasant and enlightening view of the world of the modern urban police administrator.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, Accurate, Interesting, 2 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Having worked for Bratton during his time as Police Commissioner for the NYPD I can honestly say his book is excellent! He gives great background info on himself and the success he had with his other police departments. It makes great reading for everyone!
