Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Partners in the Los Angeles Police Department, they’re haunted by terrifying dark secrets of the nightwatch–shared predawn drink and sex sessions they call choir practice. Each wears his cynicism like a bulletproof jockstrap–each has his horror story, his bad dream, his night shriek. He is afraid of his friends–he is afraid of himself.

This was written when Wambaugh was just breaking on to the scene and was white hot. Decades after reading this book I can still recall some scenes. Interesting, in his newest "Hollywood Crows" the author has a present day cop make a throw away line about the place where 60'-70's LAPD cops used to hang out with beer and badge bunnies. Those days are gone forever but if you want to see an author at the top of his game buy this book.

This book was recommended by a friend and he loved it and so did I. He is well read and remembered lines from this book and he hadn't read it in years. Great quick read if you like the inner workings of a police station.

This book has always been one of my favorites. Back in the '70's, I was a Sky Cop in the Air Force & after seeing the movie version, our squadron purchased Choirboy T-shirts and belt buckles,(which has a .38 bullet hole in it) I still have the buckle and wear it occasionally. Must read for die hard Wambaugh fans and brings back memories of carrying a wheel gun and when policing wasn't just a job!

I read The Choirboys when I was a teenager back in the mid-seventies and found it very enjoyable. After casual discussions with former police officers about their personal experiences while on duty, Mr. Wambaugh's book still holds up after thirty-five years. Highly recommended to anyone that wants to get a feel of what it's like to be in law enforcement and working the streets. The experiences and emotions they go through are not something solely representative of living in Los Angeles.

A wild romp through the lives of some LAPD cops. Great characters. Funny. A bit dated but this adds to the charm. Mabe the best book of it's type ever written.
