Book Description
More than thirty years ago, Tom Walker published Fort Apache: New Yorks Most Violent Precinct, introducing the world to the 4-1, a South Bronx precinct that was home to more murders than the entire city of San Francisco. To this day, his story about life as police lieutenant in the 4-1 precinct remains the definitive account of the vicious cycle of violence that griped urban America in the late twentieth century. The battle between criminals and law enforcement did not end in 1971, but massive controversy over the books publication precluded the release of a sequeluntil now. With Return to Fort Apache: Memoir of an NYPD Captain, Walker finally tells the rest of his fascinating life story. Return to Fort Apache was written to counter the prevailing politically correct opinion that the officers in Fort Apache used their weapons first and their wits last. In addition, Walker hopes to memorialize the courageous officers he served with in the 4-1, to remember forever their sacrifices, their courage, and their daily brushes with death and violence.

Fort Apache
Author: Tom Walker
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1600080766
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Over thirty years after its publication, Fort Apache: New York's Most Violent Precinct remains the definitive account of the vicious cycle of violence that has gripped urban America over the past century. A swollen head floating down the Bronx River, a junke murdered for stealing a woman's wig, a French Connection-style chase through blind alleys. Police barricaded inside their precinct as a wild mob lays siege to the station--and, above all, mindless violence that seemed to erupt in profusion for no apparent reason against the cops who faithfully served and cared deeply about the neighborhood that was rapidly imploding.
