Waffle House Diaries
ISBN: 9780615610542 / Angielski / Miękka / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This memoir depicts the Waffle House as a microcosm of humanity where Gandhi would not be out of place meeting the twelve disciples and hookers and addicts sit in booths next to agents of the Department of Justice.

Looking back on his journey for justice in an unjust world, Smith recalls various events in his career not as heroic adventures but as daily procedures where he does what he can with his limited resources and intelligences. Ultimately he... This memoir depicts the Waffle House as a microcosm of humanity where Gandhi would not be out of place meeting the twelve disciples and hookers and... |

My Kind of Town: Excerpts of a Copper's Life
ISBN: 9781478394105 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. My Kind of Town chronicles the real life experiences of a Chicago cop during the early 1960s. Anthony Sabatello's brief career with the Chicago Police Department was spent in the Patrol Division and in the Traffic Division, which enables him to provide different perspectives on being a "copper" in the Windy City. Some of the events he describes are interesting, some are entertaining (what ordinary citizens might call "bizarre"), but none depict violence and all are true accounts. Beware, there is some strong language.

You stick it out, you move forward . . . and you persevere. As a helicopter...
