Under the Gun in Iraq : My Year Training the Iraqi Police. Este artículo no está disponible.Under the Gun in Iraq : My Year Training the Iraqi Police

This book presents a vivid account of the challenges of training the Iraqis to handle their own security. In blunt everyday language, Cole gives readers an unusually candid and often hair-raising glimpse into the reality at street level as he and his colleagues navigate dangerous sectors of Iraq dodging the bombs and bullets aimed at them by wannabe heroes. It paints a brutally realistic picture of the bleak and perilous road ahead.

Robert Cole was a police officer for over 25 years. He retired from the force in East Palo Alto, California where he was one of the commanders that helped bring the city back from its status as the murder capital of the United States. Cole recently finished almost two years in the United Nations Peacekeeping Mission in Haiti. He served a one-year tour of duty working for DynCorp as an international police trainer in Iraq and will be redeployed for another in 2008.
