Blending history and memoir, retired US Marshal Mike Earp a
descendant of the legendary lawman Wyatt Earp- offers an exclusive
and fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the most storied law
enforcement agency in America, illuminating its vital role in the
nation s development for more than two hundred years.
Mike Earp spent his career with the US Marshals Service,
reaching the number-three position in the organization s hierarchy
before he retired. In this fascinating, eye-opening book, written
with the service s full cooperation, he shares his experiences and
takes us on a fascinating tour of this extraordinary organization
the oldest, the most effective, and the most dangerous branch of
American law enforcement, and the least known.
Unlike their counterparts in the police and the FBI, US Marshals
aren t responsible for investigating or prosecuting crimes. They
pursue and arrest the most dangerous criminal offenders on US soil,
an extraordinarily hazardous job often involving gun battles and
physical altercations. Earp takes us back to the service s early
days, explaining its creation and its role in the border wars that
helped make continental expansion possible. He brings to life the
gunslingers and gunfights that have made the Marshals legend, and
explores the service s role today integrating federal, state, and
local law enforcement agencies in the hunt for the most notorious
criminals terrorists, drug lords, and gun runners.
Setting his own experiences within the long history of the US
Marshals service, Earp offers a moving and illuminating tribute to
the brave marshals who have dedicated their lives to keeping the
nation safe."
