Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $25.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $17.13 You Save: $8.82 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $13.13
Decently written, filled with the author's interesting opinions on various topics. Excellent descriptions of the physical training elements the author endured, particularly the IDF self defense system Krav Maga. The book impressed me so much I started taking lessons at a Krav school nearby.

2.Armed and Dangerous: The Hunt for One of America's Most Wanted Criminals by: William Queen, Douglas Century July 03, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $23.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $16.29 You Save: $7.66 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $2.50
William Queen has made a good follow-up to his best seller Under and Alone. Although his first was one of my favorites, this one is very well written and reads easily. Two thumbs up and very recommended.

I just finished reading this book, and i could not put it down! This is one amazing book, i highly recommend this to anyone who wants to hear a true account of a courageous undercover detective who infiltrated the mob. All true, amazing work by Rick and the NYPD. A must have! "It's in there" everything Rick was involved in, is in there!

4.Barney Ross (Jewish Encounters) by: Douglas Century February 07, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $19.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $13.57 You Save: $6.38 (32%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $1.58
There are a lot of similarities here between Barney's story and Jake La Motta's story and they both could have been RAGING BULL the movie. This book is concise and written very smoothly--an even-flow to read thru. A good boxing and Jewish lifestyle book at the same time.

...Mr Cohen's book. Devoured the book in two days. Fascinating perspective on Israel's military, particularly the training behind their elite forces. As an American, I was especially enlightened by Mr Cohen's analysis of our shortsightedness in combatting terrorism here in the states. The Israelis are trained to kill the terrorist. The average US police officer is trained to NOT shoot because of the bureaucratic mess he would encounter in discharging his weapon. Mr Cohen explains the Israeli emphasis on shooting thousands of rounds to become proficient and comfortable in using his firearm and in real world simulation whereas the US police force practices sporadically at a shooting range. He discounts the importance of aiming, but instead being instinctive in using one's weapon. Mr. Cohen's stories ... Read More

7.Street Kingdom: Five Years Inside the Franklin Avenue Posse by: Douglas Century February 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $4.29
If you have any interest in Hip Hop then this is an essential read for you. I do not agree with reviewers who found it condescending or parasitical. The author is a Jewish guy from Canada but that does not exclude him from writing such a book; he never hides who he is, he was the one who spent five years researching and writing it, and got it published, so more power to him. If you read it it appears that he did not decide to write such a book and then set out to use people to do so, rather that the book wrote itself through him having had interesting experiences through his involvement in Hip Hop, that he rightly put down on paper to share with others. It is a true life gripping account of the runnings of a Brooklyn street crew called The Franklin Avenue Posse, loosley associated with rap group ... Read More
