Bad Men


 ...Lives up to its title. "Michael Kanaly brings us, with searing honesty, what people said & what people did when the world was harsh, and everyone ended up being wounded - even when shots missed.  

No holds barred; nothing censored by any era's tinted-glasses; in this book, people speak and act as people did in those harsh days. Exactly. It hurts while it lives on in memory. The words, the actions, the events, all spill into the world as they would have & as they did....

...The ending will stay with you long after this book is read.
