In this fascinating, eye-opening book, written with the service's full cooperation, he shares his experiences and takes us on a fascinating tour of this extraordinary organization--the oldest, the most effective, and the most dangerous branch of American law enforcement, and the least known.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike their counterparts in the police and the FBI, U.S. Marshals aren't responsible for investigating or prosecuting crimes. They pursue and arrest the most dangerous criminal offenders on U.S. soil, an extraordinarily hazardous job often involving gun battles and physical altercations. Earp takes us back to the service's early days, explaining its creation and its role in the border wars that helped make continental expansion possible. He brings to life the gunslingers and gunfights that have made the Marshals legend, and explores the service's role today integrating federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies in the hunt for the most notorious criminals--terrorists, drug lords, gun runners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSetting his own experiences within the long history of the U.S. Marshals service, Earp offers a moving and illuminating tribute to the brave marshals who have dedicated their lives to keeping the nation safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e123,006 Fugitives\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's the number of wanted men and women, each with an average of four felony convictions to their name, the U.S. Marshals Service tracked down and arrested in 2012.
