About I Rode With Heroes Volume 1
Product Description "I Rode With Heroes" is an exciting, factual, real life account of the life and Law Enforcement career of Fred G. Macdonald III. A well woven sequence of dramatically entertaining stories paint a colorfull timeline of the Author's incredible life from youth to retirement. As the Reader rides along the river of the author's life, events depicted graphically through text and photos, will bring tears, laughter, and shivers of fright to the reader, just as they were experienced during the actual events by the author and hundreds of America's greatest Heroes. From walking through critter infested swamps with his earliest Heroes, to chasing the most dangerous of our nation's outlaws into the darkest of places, the author injects the reader into each story through heart pounding descriptions of events which led always into the unknown. Through stories of robbers, drug dealers, murderers, thieves, and smugglers, "I Rode With Heroes" depicts the never ending flow of notorious Outlaws down a river protected by Lawmen who were determined to track them down and bring them to justice. Review Review "I Rode With Heroes" describes the history of a law enforcement agency, and its personnel, that made a difference in the arena of drug enforcement. This work is written by one of those heroes who was instrumental in the growth and development of one of the most respected agencies in the nation during the early years of drug enforcement, the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics (MBN). This agency and many others were, and still are, challenged by one of the most serious problems ever encountered by our society, the impact of illegal drugs! This book is an insider's view of hundreds of heroes and what influenced them to engage themselves and their families in what is one of the most difficult, dangerous, and challenging careers in law enforcement. It is a very accurate and true account of the learning curve that drug enforcement encountered and continues to experience today. This depiction of the proactive role model produced during the history of the MBN, is a story that needs to be read by the public, students of criminal justice programs, and most importantly by politicians who are responsible for the proper funding which insures the support and success of our nation's agencies which are dedicated to drug enforcement. This book describes some of the most successful and dangerous investigations ever conducted by this state agency and its partners, the success of its early leadership, and sacrifices of the agents and their families who made these investigations so successful. From smuggling operations to extensive undercover investigations, surveillance operations, to technological advances and innovation, Fred's accurate depiction of these events demonstrates the incredible courage of the agents involved in each story. Both danger and humor make this work an exciting and pleasurable learning experience! It is a comprehensive insight into drug enforcement from a hero who has "been there and done that" and continues to train members of law enforcement based on his considerable knowledge and experience!
