Η χρονιά του Δράκου di Daley Robert
140/3
This biography was such a long read, it felt like passage on the Pan Am China Clipper. But the story of Juan Trippe was worth the ride. Here is a man whose career in aviation spanned the years between the World War I rag wing Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny" to being instrumental in the development of the Boeing 747 as the launch customer. An American Saga is a fascinating read on the commercialization of airplanes, so often overshadowed by war stories.
The film Prince of the City has been one of my favorite films for many years. I could not tell someone how many times I have watched that movie.
The book has also been a keen interest of mine. The book mostly details the career of vice detective of NYPD Robert Leuci and the slow encroachment of corruption when it comes to policing and the enforcement of the law and the later need for one to seek redemption for past wrong doings.
Robert Leuci has also written his own memoir, All the Centurions, detailing his policing career. Not only this, a search of his name in many non-fiction books recounting of policing in New York during his tenure, will find his name sprinkled here and there.
If one wants to read a book detailing the conflicts, ambiguities and murky world of urban policing, then books like Daley's are a good place to start.
