Semper Cop: Happy 88th Birthday To Joseph Wambaugh

Happy 88th birthday to Joseph Wambaugh, the former LAPD detective sergeant and best-selling author of classic police novels such as The New Centurions, Hollywood Station, and The Choirboys, as well as classic true crime books such as The Onion Field, Echoes in the Darkness, and The Blooding.   

Over the years, I've been privileged to interview Joseph Wambaugh several times and I've reviewed many of his outstanding books.
