- Summary:
-
Early 20th century criminals were at their worst and their excesses created havoc. The times were hard and made even more difficult with the beginning of WWII, when hand-guns, explosives and 'Tommie' guns became easy currency and were used with malice and astounding recklessness. Alan Leek, an awarded police veteran, recounts incredible true stories from this period through the lens of a man who has personally experienced and witnessed the life-changing impacts of service. He pays tribute to the ethos and courage of police and their contribution during a period when police response were not directed by psychological or sociological methodologies but by brawn and bravery.
