Warrior Police
Rolling with America's Military Police in the World's Trouble Spots
About this book
For the first time ever, a former Special Forces officer delivers an 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 Marines, conventional Army units, and Special Operations Forces, a lion's share of the war-fighting 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 come to the assistance of infantry units in desperate straits. They keep villages Taliban-free, monitor balloting sites, and interdict drug shipments. In detention centers at Camp Bucha, Iraq, Bagram, Afghanistan, and Guantanamo, Cuba they guard some of the most dangerous terrorists in history.
The story is told by the soldiers themselves, recounting what they have seen and experienced, along with historical context and first-hand 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 back-country of Afghanistan, and wherever our Military Police are needed.
"An action-filled page-turner that illuminates the bravery of a special breed of soldier—Army MPs . . . With Warrior Police, Cucullu and Fontana immerse readers in world that feels a lot like Saving Private Ryan meets Blackhawk Down." ?Matthew Alexander, author of How to Break a Terrorist
