More than thirty years ago, Tom Walker published "Fort Apache:
New York's Most Violent Precinct," introducing the world to the
4-1, a South Bronx precinct that was home to more murders than the
entire city of San Francisco. To this day, his story about life as
police lieutenant in the 4-1 precinct remains the definitive
account of the vicious cycle of violence that griped urban America
in the late twentieth century.
The battle between criminals and law enforcement did not end in
1971, but massive controversy over the book's publication precluded
the release of a sequel-until now. With "Return to Fort Apache:
Memoir of an NYPD Captain," Walker finally tells the rest of his
fascinating life story.
"Return to Fort Apache" was written to counter the prevailing
politically correct opinion that the officers in Fort Apache used
their weapons first and their wits last. In addition, Walker hopes
to memorialize the courageous officers he served with in the 4-1,
to remember forever their sacrifices, their courage, and their
daily brushes with death and violence.
