Oklahoma Justice

- A Century of Gunfighters, Gangsters and Terrorists

Bag om Oklahoma Justice

From the founding of the city during the Land Run of 1889 to the Oklahoma City bombing tragedy in 1995, this interesting book reveals the side story of the Oklahoma City Police and its pursuit of justice in the city where "urban America met the Wild West".These are the real stories; the heroes and anti-heroes, the shining glories of duty, honor and courage as well as the occasional warts of corruption and misconduct; such as gunfights, fistfights, lynchings, and race riots. Read about......the Chief of Police who became a multiple murderer......the Chief who was shot down in the police station by one of his own men......how the OCPD grew from 141 officers to more than 2,000 in one day......the OCPD officers who worked for the FBI as "hired guns" and shot Wilber Underhill and John Dillinger......and the inside story of the police response to the Oklahoma City bombing.This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the Wild West and America's law enforcement history.
