All In the Name of Justice - Paperback

Dear Friends,

You ask, "Who may benefit from reading your book, ALL IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE?" Truly everyone will. It is a brutally honest and gripping story that will hold a reader's interest as the main character journeys through his occupational revelations as a Chicago police officer, Cook County prosecutor, and criminal defense attorney in Chicago and Miami, a journey inspired by true events and experiences of the author, Warren J. Breslin.

More specifically and pointedly, however, all police officers, lawyers, and judges will identify with the life adventures of Jack Keegan, the lead character, as he reminisces of those life adventures during jury deliberation in a murder trial of his client, a major and ruthless cartel drug dealer who rose through the ranks from a street corner in Chicago to a drug cartel major distributor throughout Mexico, Miami, and Chicago. All readers will come to understand the inescapable human frailties and stress in the job of being a police officer-especially of being a police officer-and of being a lawyer, a judge, and any other occupational positions of authority.

The book is not preachy. It is not a roadmap to good governance. But it does stress the importance for public understanding of authority with realistic measures to monitor and assure compliance-and with reasonable rules so that authority may be exercised effectively. The rules should be fair to all, without overlooking fairness to the authority figures themselves who must be allowed to do their jobs.

ALL IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE stands out from the monotonous and unfair, ill-serving writings and video media coverage of police officers and other authority figures abusing their powers without equal emphasis on the failures of the public to orderly comply with authoritarian directives necessary to preserve social order.

It's a good "on-the-edge-of-your-seat" story, with or without a message, that I am sure you will enjoy.

Warren J. Breslin
