Book
Review of The Battle Behind the
Badge |
by Charles
Gray - KC Newscaster
|
A
very interesting and readable book
on some very dramatic and violent
times for Kansas City, as seen through
the eyes of a tough, hard-nosed
cop. Captain Bob Heinen was there
as Kansas City law enforcement went
through some of it's worst and best
times.
