Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Philadelphia Police: Past and Present Probably the most important branch of municipal government is the department of police. What the condition of affairs would be in a great city like Philadelphia without this controlling power for good order and protection is simply indescribable. It is a mighty force that few people in the ordinary walks of life ever stop to think of. They take it as a matter of course that they are able to go and come at all hours of the day and night in all parts of this great city without molestation. They do not realize what the consequences would be if this human dyke against the waves of crime and out rage should give way for a day or even an hour.

Book excerpt: Philly's Finest is the story of how a big city police force transformed itself from provincial nineteenth century origins into the highly mechanized organization it became in the late twentieth century. This modernization evolved despite numerous obstacles that often threatened its image and damaged its reputation. There was persistent political interference and outbreaks of ruinous scandal and the hard realities of budgets that never seemed to have enough money for more cops or more equipment. All this happened during times of great social upheaval, the birth of the automobile and ever-present increases in crime. This is a glimpse into the world of the Philadelphia Police Department and how its dedicated officers policed the city in the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: "A balanced, well-written account which provides the best overall understanding of these events." ?Library Journal "Compelling."?Publishers Weekly "A solid report from an unusual perspective."?Kirkus Reviews "A balanced view."?Booklist On a narrow street in a working-class neighborhood, the police are held at bay by a small band of armed radicals. Two assaults have already failed. After a morning-long battle involving machine guns, explosives, and tear gas, the radicals remain defiant. In a command post across the street from the boarded-up row house that serves as the militants? headquarters, the beleaguered police commissioner weighs his options and decides on a new plan. He will bomb the house. Let It Burn is the true-life story of the confrontation between the Philadelphia Police Department and the MOVE organization?a group that rejected modern technology and fought for what it called "natural law." The police commissioner's decision to drop an "explosive device" onto the house's roof?and then to let the resulting fire burn while adults and children remained in the house?was the final tragic chapter in a decades-long series of clashes that had already left one policeman dead and others injured, dozens of MOVE members behind bars, and their original compound razed to the ground. By the time the fire burned itself out, eleven MOVE members, many of them women and small children, would be dead. Sixty-one houses in the neighborhood would be destroyed. There would be a city inquiry, numerous civil suits, and two grand-jury inquests following the confrontation. Michael Boyette served on one of the grand juries, where he had a front-row seat as the key players and witnesses?including Mayor Wilson Goode and future Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell?recounted their roles in the tragedy. After the grand jury concluded its investigation, he and coauthor Randi Boyette conducted additional independent research?including exclusive interviews with police who had been on the scene and with MOVE members?to create this moment-by-moment account of the confrontation and the events leading up to it.
