Gun Law: Fighting Britain's Deadliest Gangs: Inside an Elite Police Firearms Squad - Hardcover
Andy Hailwood was an elite armed cop. He took down terrorists, drug barons, psychopathic killers and dangerous robbers, and at the height of Manchester's gang wars he was attending up to six gun incidents a day.
Having joined the police as a 16-year-old cadet, he witnessed riots in Moss Side and Toxteth, experiences that led him to join the Tactical Aid Group, a tough unit noted for uncompromising tactics. Four years with TAG saw him clash with football hooligans, protect supergrasses, and guard child killer Myra Hindley on her return to Saddleworth Moor.
He later transferred to the VO8 Firearms Department, whose hard-hitting reputation earned them fear, hatred and respect in equal measure from the underworld. He helped crack an IRA cell, ambushed top-level members of the notorious Cali drugs cartel and entered Strangeways Prison alone during a riot.
Laced with black humour,GUN LAW is the authentic inside account of those who daily risk their lives in pursuit of our most dangerous criminals.
Reviews:

'A graphic account of almost two decades in the firing line.' THE TIMES
'His writing has the no-nonsense, professional approach you'd expect from someone whose day job involved infiltrating prisons and crack dens.' CITY LIFE
