Those who criticize the use of the title in the context of policing seem to demonstrate an excessively myopic viewpoint and failure to recognize the purpose, discipline, and values of the warrior ethos. Unfortunately, the related public and political criticism often demoralizes and erodes the faith, confidence, and commitment of the individual officer.

The Warrior’s Manifesto is a tour de force. It is truly a foundation for those who believe police officers can be warriors (and should aspire to be so). It should help relieve the contemporary confusion about what the warrior is and why the appellation does apply to the police officer.

The Warrior’s Manifesto will do much to clarify and rectify the real issues. It is both an anchor and a rudder for the modern police officer and police command. The work is a synthesis of the traditions of warriorship and contemporary challenges.

Danny is a wordsmith who writes with an engaging passion and challenging quality. You will not be able to lay this book aside until you have read it all and, until then, you will read with great anticipation of Danny’s next point and well-turned phrase. His knowledge of history is truly impressive, but even more so is his presentation of it, which reads not like a stuffy rendition of an irrelevant past but like on-point personal knowledge.
