"Lou Eppolito's book makes it clear that nice guys don't necessarily finish last. Mafia Cop is a unique and accurate picture of life inside the New York Police Department - and the mob." - Nick Pileggi. "Lou Eppolito grew up tough, the son of a mobster who taught him respect with his fists. His relatives and heroes were "wiseguys" - yet, to his family's dismay, he turned his back on their world to become a cop. And not just a cop: a good cop! During the twenty years he wore the badge, newspaper headlines recorded the extraordinary heroism of Lou Eppolito, who became one of the most decorated cops in New York City history. He survived eight shootouts, killed at least one man, and his heroism was legendary among New York's finest, as well as among its criminals. Eppolito enforced his own brand of street justice in the name of "honor" and "respect" for the hundreds of victims he saved. A trunkful of "thank you" notes still attests to their gratitude. Even the "wiseguys" respected Eppolito for his integrity, toughness and sense of humor. In fact, his only enemies were his own colleagues: for the New York Police Department eventaully turned against him because he was doing his job so well that his fellow cops - and the police brass - resented it. With an extraordinary sense of drama - and honesty - Eppolito takes the reader onto the streets. In scene after gritty scene of violence, heroism and sacrifice, he shows us just how good a cop can be when he cares - for Eppolito was the cop you'd hope to see coming to your resuce if you were in trouble. With equal power he shows life in a Mafia family: the murder of his uncle and cousin; his own middle-of-the-night meeting (one of mutual, wary respect) with "Boss of Bosses" Paul Castellano; and all the "wiseguy" relatives, starting with his father and uncle, who taught him the meaning of honor and loyalty - a code which, Eppolito was to discover, was observed more by the "bad" guys than by his fellow cops. Eppolito was unfairly accused of selling police department secrets to the mob. Brought to trial before the NYPD's infamous hanging judge - who had jailed Lou's uncle and cousin years before - he was acquitted, only to find bitterness and disdain for the job he had given his heart and soul to. Even fully exonerated, Eppolito still found himself shunned by his own department for his honesty and his courage. Despite promotion to Detective, Second Grade, he felt there was no way the NYPD could ever give him back his pride and dignity. In 1989, Lou Eppolito retired. The NYPD had finally managed to rid itself of one of its best cops. Mafia Cop vividly describes the brutal destruction of one good cop by his own bosses. It is an extraordinary and dramatic inside story, half Serpico, half Wiseguy, told in the vivid, tough language of the streets, of the police - and of the mob." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition red boards, blue cloth spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color illustrated dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Joseph Heller and Acknowledgments. The Sequel to Catch-22. "In a novel as darkly comic and audaciously ambitious as was Catch-22, Joseph Heller has dared to write the sequel to his American classic, using many of Catch-22's characters, now older if not wiser, to deftly satirize the realities and the myths of America in the half century since they fought World War II. In 1961, Joseph Heller's remarkable first novel made its way immediately into the American psyche and came to symbolize the absurdity of war and of life. Catch-22 was recognized overnight as a classic and has sold nearly ten million copies in the United States alone. It remains perhaps the funniest - and the most serious - novel ever written about war, "an apocalyptic masterpiece," in the words of one reviewer. Now, thirty-three years later, Joseph Heller has written the sequel. You don't have to have read Catch-22 (but then, who on earth hasn't?) to enjoy Closing Time, which is a fully independent companion work, a comic masterpiece in its own right, in which Heller spears the inflated balloons of our national cousciousness - the absurdity of our politics, the decline of society and our great cities, the greed and hypocrisy of our business and culture - with the same ferocious humor that he used against the conventional view of warfare. His characters are those of Catch-22, coming to the end of their lives and the century, as is the entire generation that fought in World War II: Yossarian, and Milo Minderbinder, the chaplain, and such newcomers as little Sammy Singer and giant Lew, all linked, this time in uneasy peace and old age, fighting, not the Germans this time, but The End. Closing Time is outrageously funny and totally serious, and as brilliant and successful as Catch-22 itself, a fun-house mirror that captures, at once grotesquely and accurately, the truth about ourselves." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

As new condition red boards with a navy blue cloth spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Acknowledgments; Prologue; Epilogue; and Index. Illustrated with two sections of black-and-white photographic plates. "Ronald Reagan's autobiography is a work of major historical importance. Here, for the first time, in his own words, is the story of his life -- public and private -- told in a book that is both frank and compellingly readable. No president in this century has accomplished more, or been so effective in changing the function of government in ways that are both fundamental and lasting, than Ronald Reagan. Certainly no president has more dramatically raised the American spirit, or done so much to restore national strength and self-confidence. Here, then, is a truly American success story - a great and inspiring one. From modest beginnings as the son of a shoe salesman in Tampico, Illinois, Ronald Reagan achieved first a distinguished career in Hollywood and then, as governor of California and as president of the most powerful nation in the world, a career of public service unique in our history. Ronald Reagan's account of that rise is told here with all the uncompromising candor, modesty and wit that made him perhaps the most able communicator ever to occupy the White House, and also with the sense of drama of the gifted natural storyteller he has always been. He tells us, with warmth and pride, of his early years and of the elements that made him, in later life, a leader of such stubborn integrity, courage and clear-minded optimism. Reading the account of his childhood we understand how his parents, struggling to make ends meet despite family problems and the rigors of the Depression, shaped his belief in the virtues of American life -- the need to help others, the desire to get ahead and to get things done, the deep trust in the basic goodness, values and sense of justice of the American people -- virtues that few presidents have expressed more eloquently than Ronald Reagan. With absolute authority and a keen eye for the details and the anecdotes that humanize history, Ronald Reagan takes the reader behind the scenes of his extraordinary career, from his first political experiences as president of the Screen Actors Guild (including his first meeting with a beautiful young actress who was later to become Nancy Reagan) to such high points of his presidency as the November 1985 Geneva meeting with Mikhail Gorbachev, during which Reagan invited the Soviet leader outside for a breath of fresh air, and took him off for a walk and a man-to-man chat, without aides, that set the course for arms reduction and charted the end of the Cold War. Here he reveals what went on behind his decision to enter politics and run for the governorship of California, the speech nominating Barry Goldwater that first made Reagan a national political figure, his race for the presidency, his relations with the members of his own cabinet, and his frustrations with Congress. He gives us the details of the great themes and dramatic crises of his eight years in office, from Lebanon to Grenada, from the struggle to achieve arms control to tax reform, from Iran-Contra to the visits abroad that did so much to reestablish the United States in the eyes of the world as a friendly and peaceful power. His narrative is full of new insights, from the unseen dangers of Gorbachev's first visit to the United States to Reagan's own personal correspondence with major foreign leaders, as well as his innermost feelings about life in the White House, the assassination attempt, his family -- and the enduring love between himself and Mrs. Reagan that is so much a part of his life. An American Life is a warm, richly detailed and deeply human book, a brilliant self-portrait, a significant work of history." - from the inner front and rear jacket flap.
