    The book is about how critical the law enforcements are in our life, and why they're always there to help us and how useful they're. The book was very interesting to read, and it was summarized in a very good way that was very easy to read and understand. There's no reason for me to not recommend this book, so I give it a 5/5 stars rating.

    If you are looking for a summary that offers a non-biased approach, this is perfect. My favorite them was the influence of The Dreamers on the black experience. There is more but I am sure you get the point. This is an exceptional companion that is highly informative as a stand along or a companion while you are reading the book.
  • It's awesome to read!
