As officers patrolled a march in Dallas, a young man stepped out of an SUV wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying a high-powered rifle. He killed five officers and wounded eleven others.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nIt fell to a small group of cops to corner the shooter inside a community college, where a fierce gun battle was followed by a stalemate. The crisis negotiator Larry Gordon, a twenty-one-year department veteran, spent hours bonding with the gunman—over childhood ghosts and death and shared experiences of racial injustice in America—while his colleagues devised an unprecedented plan to bring the night to its dramatic end.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThompson’s minute-by-minute account includes intimate portrayals of the negotiator, a surgeon who operated on the fallen officers, a mother of four shot down in the street, and the SWAT officers tasked with stopping the gunman. This is a deeply affecting story of real people navigating a terrifying crisis and a city’s attempts to heal its divisions.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47919332524190,"sku":"ING-9781250813848","price":33.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781250813848.jpg?v=1782810345","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781250813848","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
