Black treated paper on boards. Volume is slightly worn on the edges, light foxing to front page edges. Stories from the NYPD by Albert Seedman. From the Internet Site: J*Grit The Internet Index of Tough Jews: Cigar-chomping, tough and flamboyant-Detective Albert Seedman was the first and only Jewish NYPD Chief of Detectives. From 1971-1972 he was Chief of Detectives, running 2,900 men, making it the largest detective bureau in the world. Throughout his career, Seedman was involved in many high profile cases including the Kitty Genovese murder, the assassination of organized crime boss Joe Colombo and the Harlem mosque shooting incident. Having visited the scene of over 2,000 murders, Seedman gained a reputation for staying cool even in the most gruesome circumstances. He demonstrated a knack for solving crimes and the ability to uncover crucial pieces of evidence that others overlooked in the many homicides that he solved. Disagreements with top NYPD brass over the handling of the Harlem mosque case led to his resignation from the force. Albert Seedman was born in Brooklyn and raised in one of the toughest neighborhoods of the South Bronx. After graduation from college he joined the New York Police Department, in 1942, and was soon walking the beat as a patrolman. He served in army intelligence in World War II where he took part in both the Normandy Invasion and Battle of the Bulge eventually earning him five battle stars. After the war he resumed his career in the police department where he was promoted to detective in 1946. A short lived TV series called Eischeid (1979-1983) was partially based on Albert Seedman.
