Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 8vo. Crown Publishers, New York. 1977. 224 pgs. Illustrated with 16 pages of illustrations. Signed and inscribed by Sonny Grosso and Randy Jurgensen on the half-title page. First Edition/First Printing. DJ has light shelf…-wear present to the DJ extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks, binding tight and solid, boards clean with no wear present. This is the riveting story of how in 1972 officers responding to a false "10-13" (officer in trouble) call entered the Harlem Mosque and were attacked, one murdered, and the incident's aftermath. As tragic as it was, the murder was not the real story. In fact, several officers had been ambushed and murdered in the same precinct within a year of this incident by a group calling themselves the Black Liberation Army (BLA) *. The real story is how the Black Muslims, lead by Minister Louis Farrakhan, had the mayor and police commissioner so intimidated that they ordered all police officers out of the Mosque, which was now a crime scene, severely hampering the murder investigation. They later ordered all white officers to stay away from the entire area of the mosque to appease Farrakhan and his followers. This book is an indictment of the higher echelons of a police department that was more concerned with maintaining an appearance of race relations than solving the murder of a police officer. E-290; 9.0 X 6.1 X 1.0 inches; 224 pages.
