Sociologists and historians can examine and dissect our culture,
but only a true eyewitness can offer the details on the ground. In
Through the Eyes of a Lawman, author Michael J. Butler presents an
insider's look at the people and organizations that have affected
the US intelligence services; the modern way law and law
enforcement operates and has evolved; the educational deficiencies
of the system; and our collective loss of abstract and critical
thinking. Through humorous and sober anecdotes, "Through the Eyes
of a Lawman" addresses the issue of whether we have become a
make-it-up-as-we-go-along society.
Butler's story begins in the 1950s in Brooklyn, New York, and is
told through his perspective as a retired cop, lawyer, former US
intelligence analyst, and college instructor. Against the backdrop
of his extensive law enforcement experience, Butler paints a
portrait of today's society and culture, examines how it has been
evolving, and explores what it means for the country's future.
"Through the Eyes of a Lawman" goes behind the curtain that
separates the people from the law, police, the courts, the
intelligence services, and the government to analyze the ideas of
heroes, villains, cops, terrorism, trials, classrooms, judges,
soldiers, Vietnam, and politics.
