Back from the Brinkis an unofficial police history and narrative of the people and events that made New York City the safest big city in America. Peter Moskos, a sociologist and former police officer, takes readers behind the Blue Wall of the NYPD, offering insight into effective law enforcement directly from the police officers who went to war against crime in New York in the 1990s, and won.
