| Description: | Joe has been trying to tell this story for some time. It’s his story, but not his alone. It’s also the story of those who lived and died alongside him, in Viet Nam and in that other battle, for justice and safety under the shield of the law, that is fought daily in the streets of every big city by every honest cop. In his case, the city was the Naked City and the cop was a Latino. And the battle was neither for the civilians alone, nor just against the bad guys in the street. Sometimes the bad guys were in the Department. And sometimes the people who needed protection were the honest cops. |

This is a must read. It will open your eyes to what Police Officers go through especially when the enemy is not only outside of the department but also within the department.

Like in the movie Serpico, played by actor Al Pacino, the story of an honest cop Frank Serpico, who was face with the dilemma of working within a corrupted police department, Joe was also an honest cop who despised the act of criminality, but foremost despised corruption.
In a recent NY Daily News article, dated July 16, 2008, written by John Marzulli and titled, "Fired NYPD cop writes gritty book to set record straight," Joe Sanchez story was told. More than two decades after he was terminated from the Police Department, the highly-decorated supercop who terrorized bad guys in Washington Heights still loves the job despite everything he was put through.
The book, True Blue, A Tale of the Enemy Within, is a made for movie book that specifically and in graphic detail describes all he endured throughout his lifetime as a New York City police officer and as human being. Persistence and determination is an understatement in describing Mr. Joe Manuel Sanchez Picon. I'm not only proud to have met this gentleman during my lifetime, but also proud to know that he is a, "Positive and Unique Representation to all honest Latino Officers around the globe."
