Disorderly Conduct

There are many books about the FBI that tell stories of great cases, great agents and the Bureau’s great history. From gun battles to organized crime, political corruption and terrorism. This is not one of those books.

While most law enforcement matters are serious, there’s another side to the job that every cop, agent, trooper, investigator and detective knows is humorous. Previously, no one has taken the time to document the uproarious moments, that is until now.

Disorderly conduct is a collection of true stories from the FBI that will make you laugh out loud. The reader goes behind the scenes to see the oddities of the job. Whether arresting an actor while on stage, or catching them in a hot tub, executing a search warrant at the home of a grown man who, as it turns out, just happens to live with hundreds of toy dolls, or an office meeting that turned into a tribal council moment from Survivor. Disorderly Conduct takes the reader inside the lighter moments of law enforcement. Arrestingly funny, often hard to believe, but all true.

The Eighty Thieves: American P.O.W.s in World War II Japan

Patriot Press

The Eighty Thieves story tells of the short battle for Guam against overwhelming odds. Captured and taken to Japan, the prisoners were forced to work as slaves at the Nippon Sietesu steel mills (Nippon Iron and Steel, as NKK was known as before the war).

Iannarelli gives a detailed and stirring account of bravery by these prisoners as they endured endless days of starvation, savagery, and brutality at the hands of the Japanese guards. Iannarelli's father was one of these prisoners and he had the advantage of speaking Japanese, thereby being able to prevent much of the savagery against fellow inmates by interpreting Japanese commands. Like the 80 fellow POWs from Guam, Iannarelli's father learned to steal food and supplies in order to live. Being caught meant a savage beating with baseball bats and mass punishments of the entire camp.

Reviewed as one of the singular best books written about the Hirohata POW camp. Worth acquiring for the serious student of World War II history.
