New York City has a colorful and fascinating history in which the New York Police Department has played a prominent role. The NYPD is known and recognized the world over--more often for its fictional exploits than reality. From the earliest days, through highs and lows, to today the story of the NYPD is vividly told in words and pictures. Lavishly illustrated and printed in color throughout. The American Icon Close-Up Guide Series: The United States, in its relatively short life, has acquired an amazingly rich vein of history and legend. The American Icon Close-Up Guide series is designed to give the reader a brief, but fascinating, introduction to the wealth of treasures in the nation's past and present. Beautifully and clearly written by acknowledged experts, with outstanding illustrations, the titles in the series will build up to an unrivaled picture of what has made the United States of today.
