De la contraportada

"DRAMATIC AND PROFOUNDLY IMPORTANT TO OUR UNDERSTANDING OF ALL THAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN A COP PULLS THE TRIGGER"
—JOSEPH WAMBAUGH

Praise for Into the Kill Zone

"Puts the reader in the cop's shoes, and indeed behind the trigger."
— National Review Online

"Into the Kill Zone is a startling and important book—a stark, no-holds-barred journey into the minds of the people who have made the ultimate decision. Klinger's prose captures the adrenaline, emotion, and split-second decisions his subjects faced in the field."
— Christopher Whitcomb, author, Cold Zero: Inside the F.B.I. Hostage Rescue Team

"Police, military, and those who love them; military and police history readers; and readers of popular fiction should all read this book. Future depictions of combat should and will be held against the standard set by Into the Kill Zone."
— Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, author, On Killing

"This book is a must-read for every police officer, police executive, and member of the general public who wants to know what it's really like to shoot someone. From the gritty, piercingly painful opening to the haunting, solemn ending, Into the Kill Zone reads like a novel and is almost impossible to put down."
— Daryl F. Gates, chief of Los Angeles Police Department, retired
