Blurb: “FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, AN EXPLOSIVE INSIDE LOOK AT MODERN MILITARY POLICE UNITS AND THEIR ROLE IN DEFENDING OUR FREEDOM
America has been at war on several fronts since the 9/11 attack. While public attention has focused on the Marines, conventional Army units, and Special Operations forces, a significant share of the fighting and support of local police has been done, under media radar, by military police units. These squad- and platoon-sized units patrol dangerous urban streets, build up local police units to improve neighborhood stability, and conduct civic action missions On many occasions they have rushed into a vicious firefight to aid infantry units in desperate straits.
Military police units work to keep villages Taliban-free, monitor balloting sites, and interdict drug shipments. In detention centers at Camp Bucca in Iraq, Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan, and Guantánamo Bay in Cuba they guard some of the most dangerous terrorists in history.
Their story is told by the soldiers them-selves, who recount what they have seen and experienced, along with historical context and firsthand field observations by the author team, who were provided with unique inside access. Warrior Police takes readers into the bloody streets of Iraq, the dangerous backcountry of Afghanistan, and wherever our military police are needed.”
Lieutenant Colonel (Ret.) Gordon Cucullu is a former Special Forces lieutenant colo-nel, who saw combat in Vietnam and El Salvador. The author of two prior books, he was embedded with U.S. soldiers in Iraq in 2008 and twice in Afghanistan in 2010.
Chris Fontana was a longtime researcher and analyst on terrorism issues and the primary researcher for the book Inside Gitmo. She was embedded with U.S. forces in Afghanistan twice in 2010.
All profits from Warrior Police will be donated to the Valhalla Project, founded by the authors, who live and work on site, for establishment of a retreat-reintegration center in north-central Arkansas for post-9/11 combat soldiers and civilians who served with them.
