To The Edge: Letters of Love and Hate

Richard McGahey is a warrior ... about that there is no debate. Throughout his many years serving in many capacities as a law enforcement officer and soldier there are countless examples by actions that would solidify his warrior status. He has faced levels and frequencies of danger that most of us cannot even begin to comprehend. He has endured yet enjoyed a career that is, in a way, paradoxical in nature. Law enforcement officers far and wide will often speak of the dangers, both physically and psychologically, the wear and tear on the psyche caused be being constantly summoned to the scene where bad things have transpired and a general overriding distrust for anyone not wearing a badge. The will speak of low pay and long hours and non-supportive administrators. They will advise anyone not completely committed to the field to steer clear of the path of becoming a police officer. They will speak of these undesirable side effects of a career in law enforcement - but typically these me and women will admit that they wouldn't trade their experiences for the world ... as it was once put to me ... " ... it's like having front row seats to the greatest show on earth ... ". To The Edge is Richard McGahey's exorcism, his cathartic release, his soul salvation.
