## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Insight and a Great Read!
*by S***Y on September 13, 2010*

This book was begun by the author along with Cirillo before he died. It is an excellent account of Cirillo's life and a fast and easy read. I wish it was longer. I could have read another 300+ pages if it was all like what Kirchner put together. The insight into Cirillo's mindset still applies today even if his weapons and tactics have become politically incorrect. It the politics ever turn to a more realistic approach to law enforcement, the NYCPD's Stakeout Unit would most certainly work again. One can only wonder what would have happened to NY's robbery rate if Cirillo and his fellow SOU members had continued for another five years. Kirchner really gave me a quality insight into Cirillo that not many authors could probably have provided. Kirchner's respect for the man comes through in his writing. I highly recommend this book to any law enforcement officer with an interest in such things. It's also a great companion to Cirillo's own book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read if you want to understand the difference between target shooting and survival on the streets.
*by K***S on October 14, 2017*

This isn't poetry, but in terms of real world accounts of dynamic split second events this deserves 5 stars. The story was well worth the effort to capture. The man was a special type of human, a sheepdog in a world of wolves and sheep. It is evident he cared deeply for the victims and protecting the public. He understood very well how the Zen of subconscious shooting can take over in split second events. Nothing he writes here is going to turn you into a gunfighter, but it does tell you the basics for things for the recipe that tend to make you a survivor (no guarantee you will be so lucky). The hard training and practice work he put in is mentioned but don't underestimate those accomplishments. With those under his belt, he was able to survive when combined with that special something that only some folks have in their blood. Some forms of competition and hunting are good and others are better at this sort of need. The book is a must read in many ways.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some fascinating insights into police thinking of all kinds - front-line, first-line supervision, managerial, and political
*by A***R on March 9, 2013*

This book was written and published after Cirillo's death, and you can see it was a response to reader demand.Nonetheless it is a thrilling read, and provides both sides of the argument - should you fight armed robbers on their own terms, and blast them as soon as they twitch an eyelid, or should they be taken alive, counselled, educated, found jobs, and generally turned around somehow into good citizens? Many shooting scenes are described, where we find that armed offenders are in fact more ready to shoot someone than the police are, any day.Many citizens expect the cops to protect THEM and not the offender, and this is no doubt how the store-owners and customers feel. Others think that the cops should fire warning shots galore, shoot the weapon out of the robber's hand, etc etc. You are given the chance to choose. The truth lies somewhere between.Having shot so many armed robbers, the inevitable happens - Cirillo's team is disbanded for political reasons. Yet the author does mention that the great majority of the gunmen and robbers shot are black. Does it point to something? Who knows?
