"Sense Of Duty":Tremoglie's Philly Police Version of Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket"

The ANNOTICO Report

 

Michael P. Tremoglie's 'Sense Of Duty' does for big city police training what Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam classic, "Full Metal Jacket" did for U. S. Marine boot camp.

 

One can only hope that Michael Tremoglie, Italian American, can use his considerable talents to tell Italian American stories, somewhat like Lisa Scottoline, who utilizes an All Italian American Law firm in all her novels, and in "Killer Smile"  she tells the story of the WWII Enemy Aliens Act, and how it negatively impacted 600,000 Italian Americans, while an even greater number were  fighting in the US Military.

All the "Civilian" Reviewers of "Sense Of Duty" gave the Book 5 Stars, the Top Rating. 

Book Lover "Fred" (Philly) -called the book pithy, complex and startlingly realistic. Tremoglie satisfies those of us who enjoy serious realism; a realism in which the lives of the characters have real and often troubling demands on their loves and loyalties.

CosmoBarone says what I appreciated the most was the first hand view of how the newspapers get everything so wrong. Mike shows us how the media gets input from groups with an ax to grind that color their stories and mislead their readers. 

Jim Laurie "pianodude3" (Phila. PA)   Prolific political writer Michael P. Tremoglie's first foray into fiction  takes you inside life on the beat, life on the street and life among the elite. Tremoglie also manages to expose the hypocrisy of an overly politically correct culture with everyman commonsense. "Sense of Duty" would make a great motion picture.
James E. Barnhill "Paper Colonel" (Yakima, WA, USA) "A Sense of Duty" is a Grabber!I I hated to put it down!

Frank J. Melfi III  The insight into misguided loyalties and the breaking of long held mores' make this a fascinating read.

If one is looking to learn about American Dreams and Nightmares look no further.

Review
The Philadelphia Bulletin calls A 'Sense Of Duty' : A Double Shot Of Testosterone Michael P. Tremoglie's "does for big city police training what Stanley Kubrick's Vietnam classic, "Full Metal Jacket" did for U. S. Marine boot camp. ..Tremoglie's attention to detail and understanding of the psychological hazards circling around his characters draws its readers into a world fraught with pending disaster, mixed with the joy of accomplishment, and then hit with the harsh reality of the eventualities its inhabitants tried so hard to avoid. "A Sense Of Duty" deals with clashes. Clashes between cultures, social status, ideologies, political parties, races, sexes, along with hopes and dreams. --The Philadelphia Bulletin

Review
Bestselling author W.E.B. Griffin said this about A Sense of Duty: From the courts to the streets, a compelling saga of how tough choices affect the lives of the good and the bad and those around them---a fascin ating glimpse inside the closed world of law enforcement." --W.E.B. Griffin
