Book excerpt: "In End of Watch Robert Kirby seeks to honor the memories of the fallen by telling their stories. Culled primarily from news reports - standardized police reporting being a relatively recent invention - Kirby brings to light the circumstances surrounding the deaths of each of the officers who paid the ultimate price in their efforts to keep the peace. Young and old, sons and fathers, brothers and husbands, each story resonates with bitter lessons about lack of training, procedural errors, and often just the bad luck of being in the wrong place at the wrong time."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
