I’ve reviewed a couple of movies in my life, and have done numerous reviews of live performances, ranging from Eric Clapton to Stephane Grappelli, but I haven’t done a book review since high school.
Until today. My good and long-time friend, Jim Phillips, who owns Phillips Publications, has penned “Camden: Four decades on the streets of America’s toughest city.”
When not publishing fascinating books, Phillips spent most of his police career as a tactical cop for the Camden police department. He retired in 2009.
His book is filled with vignettes of his nearly forty years on the street. Most he was involved with or personally knew about. Some have been passed down in the city or the department.
