Synopsis

G-Square Publishing is honored to release the next thoughtful work from Vincent Green the life-long corruption fighter, former Deputy Commissioner of the New York City Department of Investigation and Chief Executive Officer for the G-Square International Training Academy. In stark contrast to his previous award winning literary works, the decorated corruption fighter finds his voice in this undertaking through his personal prose, poignant poetry and self-reflective short stories'. As this and his previous works demonstrate, Vinny’s life has been devoted to family and the demise of corruption, this particular work delves into Vinny’s formative years growing up in the Bayview Houses of Canarsie, Brooklyn, which offered a well-stocked feeding trough in both hardy and at times, difficult to swallow formative meals in the nurturing and maturing of a corruption fighter. Over the last four decades, Vinny has mastered the skill and art of corruption fighting and deployed those skills throughout the City of New York and when called upon, beyond the borders of the United States into the streets and training rooms of developing nations and elsewhere. Green speaks about love, life, loss, illness, injury, tragedy, triumph, family, and terrorism in his View from My Bay. In this unique work, he finds his voice where it's sometimes lost given his struggle with 9/11 related respiratory and neurological issues after being a first responder in the aftermath of the terrorist attack. Deputy Commissioner Green’s stories and poems are uniquely tuned to the ear of most anyone who cares about the negative impact of corruption and stepping onto an economically and politically level playing field of life. Here exists a man who has always had an insatiable thirst to drink from the limited worldwide wells of integrity. This relentless quest has shaped the Commissioner into a role model who cares unabashedly about corralling corruption and bellowing out a clarion call for, zero tolerance for those lost souls who embrace the dark-side and crippling the efforts of their hideous offspring working to infect society. In all of his works, Vinny’s expectations are to inspire his readers to make their own mark in the anti-corruption fight.

About this title

About the Author

Vincent Green has dedicated his life to the global fight against corruption. He began his quest as an entry level investigator with the oldest known corruption fighting agency in the world, the New York City Department of Investigation. During his four decades as a corruption fighter, Green has received recognition from four different New York City mayors and the FBI. While at DOI Green rose to the rank of deputy commissioner. To date, he is the only person in the history of DOI to progress through the ranks from entry level investigator to Deputy Commissioner. Green has trained anti-corruption agents in Haiti, Liberia, and Tanzania. He has shared Best Practices for combating corruption with representatives of more than 75 countries. Shortly after his retirement, the DOI established the Vincent Green Award for Outstanding Strategic Initiatives in his honor, a distinction that has never been bestowed on any other individual in DOI's more than 140-year history. Green now leads the fight to ensure integrity in the construction efforts under taken by the City University of New York. He also lectures on ethics as an adjunct professor and has written and contributed to several books on corruption and fraud. Green is also the Chief Executive Officer of the G-Square International Training Academy, an organization with a global mission to train corruption fighters and other law enforcement officers on the best practices for combating corruption. While he suffers from various afflictions as a result of being a first responder in the aftermath of the terror attacks on the World Trade Center, Green still finds the strength and tenacity to continue in the anti-corruption movement and speaks whenever and wherever called upon about combating corruption, fraud, waste, and abuse.
