The second detective Hanson novel the protagonist of "Sympathy for the Devil" after his return from Vietnam to his job as a beat cop in Portland Oregon -- a path the author himself also took. "Former police officer Kent Anderson author of the memorable Vietnam War novel Sympathy for the Devil returns with a powerful new novel about a Vietnam-vet cop who still carries the war inside himself. Searing and brutally honest Night Dogs plunges us into the free-fire zones of our cities where the legendary thin blue line is breaking down. The North Precinct of Portland Oregon is home to two kinds of sergeants and lieutenants who've screwed up somewhere else and patrolmen who thrive on the action on the Avenue. Officer Hanson is the second kind a veteran who has traded his Bronze Star for a badge. War is what Hanson knows and in this battle for Portland's meanest streets he's fighting not so much for the law as for his own code of justice. Hanson is a man who seems to fear nothingexcept his own memories. And it is his past that could destroy him An enemy in the department is determined to bring him down by digging into his war record and resurrecting the darkest agonies of that nightmare time. And Hanson himself risks everythinghis career his equilibrium even his lifewhen the only other survivor of his Special Forces unit comes back into his life. Doc Dawson is a drug dealer and a killer.but he's the one man Hanson can trust. Night Dogs is an extraordinary work from a powerful and authentic voice in American fiction. Recoiling from the violence that Hanson deals with every day the violence that is in Hanson readers will also understand the compassion that drives him. A novel remarkable for its razor-sharp characterizations and dialogue its freshness of observation Night Dogs -- and Hanson -- will remain etched in the memory for a long time to come.". Signed.

1944929931944. Good. Letter dated September 13 1946. 28 cm. Carbon copy on thin Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company letterhead stationery. Substantial chipping around edges no loss of text on first leaf. Our unnamed Captain of Police reports on an incident which began when around 200 African American soldiers were changing trains. Local police arrested two of the soldiers for intoxication and took them to the local Police Station. When police returned to the railroad station they found six of the soldiers assaulting two military policemen and intervened to help the MPs using the butt end of a riot gun to break up the fight. When a large number of other soldiers came to join the fight they were stopped at gunpoint by the local policemen with assistance from the MPs and military officers. The African American soldiers marched in formation to local Police Headquarters where 133 soldiers were charged with disorderly conduct and five others differently charged. Almost all pleaded not guilty but all were found guilty the next day and remained in jail another night until their fines were paid -- $17 each for the 133 soldiers and up to $100 for the five who were differently charged. All 138 soldiers were then marched back the the train station and departed. One wonders how accurately the incident was described to our unnamed Captain by those he interviewed. There is nothing in his letter to suggest that he interviewed any of the African American soldiers. unknown
