More than fifty years ago Dallas was under assault from hoards of vicious armed robbers with a penchant for violence. Police Lieutenant H.C. Holloway carried scars from a wild gun-battle with one of those criminals and a consuming hatred for them all. He devised a plan to hide shotgun armed offi cers inside likely targets with orders to shoot them down on sight. For more than two decades the unit he formed for that purpose made war on armed robbers with bloody and brutal effectiveness. They were called "Holloway's Raiders." This is their story.

Should be great reading.

I have ordered it. Sounded to good to pass up. I started to add up the money this Tom Givens guy has cost me. Then I stopped because I just don't want to know. What ever the total is; it is money well spent.

 

[Coach]

About halfway through the book. So far so good.

 

[Never A Victim]

I'm reading this book now.

 

[Coach]

I have finished. Enjoyed it immensely.

I have finished. Enjoyed it immensely.

Picked up Holloway's Raiders and also picked up the Hall Street Shootout (same author) book as it was recommended in the reviews. Excited to start them both.

If anyone of you are avid readers, make sure you are using GoodReads (I prefer the site over the mobile app). After you start tracking what you read, you can really get some good suggestions building up.
