About this product

Product Information

Ex-cop turned #1 New York Times bestselling writer Joseph Wambaugh forged a new kind of literature with his great early police procedurals. Here in his classic debut novel, Wambaugh presents a stunning, raw, and unforgettable depiction of life behind the thin blue line. In a class of new police recruits, Augustus Plebesly is fast and scared. Roy Fehler is full of ideals. And Serge Duran is an ex-marine running away from his Chicano childhood. In a few weeks they'll put on the blue uniform of the LAPD. In months they'll know how to interpret the mad babble of the car radio, smell danger, trap a drug dealer, hide a secret, and-most of all-live with the understanding that cops are different from everyone else. But for these men, these new centurions, time is an enemy. The year is 1960. The streets are burning with rage. And before they can grow old on this job, they'll have to fight for their lives...

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • All rookie cops were required to read this Joe Wambaugh novel. This was in the early 70's, the book and the motion picture

    Read this work back at its first publication. All new police officers starting off in law enforcement were encouraged to read it. The New Centurions was "required" reading when I was a young cop in the early 1970's. The book is well written, with much emphasis on the personal challenges each officer faced in this book. Written by a former cop with much attention to detail and true police protocol.

  • A 1960's Los Angeles crime fighting novel

    Three rookie police deal with crime while juggling money and women troubles. Takes about 18 or 20 hours to read and has some descriptions of sex, violence and strong language.
