Meet Charles Manson and gangster Mickey Cohen and experience the Watts Riot in uniform.

What was it like to be at Spahn Ranch arresting Charles Manson? To book gangster Mickey Cohen at the county jail? To try to keep the peace, surrounded by burning buildings at the Watts Riot? To deal with daily strangeness and crime?

Ride along through 29 years of law enforcement in an ever-changing Los Angeles County with author Rob Mead in his new page-turning book, The Truth Will Set You Free, published by Stories to Last.

In uniform, undercover, as part of the specially-trained SWAT team, and working in the prisons, he saw it all, the best and worst of humanity: heroism and cruelty, courage and tragedy, loyal friendship and the craziest behavior you can imagine. He met the famous and the infamous, protected presidents, flushed out murderers, and saved lives.

For Rob, it was about helping the good guys, and that, along with the love of a good woman, kept him alive. And he learned along the way that the Truth Will Set You Free.
