Policing and the Creation of a Cosmopolitan Liberal Politics, 1950-1972
Reviewed by Dennis Bianchi

The author of this book, Christopher Lowen Agee, is an assistant professor in the history department at the University of Colorado, Denver. This is his first book. Current officers of the San Francisco Police Department will likely find the book a bit startling and hard to believe. He paints a rather ugly picture of The City during the middle of the last century. It has been one of the most difficult books for me to read and review.

Here’s a few examples why:
