Awesome book by one of the best!

"This book is packed with practical information that can come only from someone who has experienced the fear and intensity of an actual shootout."

My favorite quote from the book;

Lieutenant - "Jim, did you warn them? Did you tell them to drop their weapons and that they were under arrest?"
Cirillo - "Yeah, but I don't think they heard me because of all the shooting."

The first two sections of this book (Guns / Bullets) were a bit heavy on the self-promotion, but the third section (Gunfights) was outstanding. I'd love to hear a collection of his "true stories" while working on the stake out squad, not sure if such a thing exists.
