More than seven thousand Koreans were guest workers in West Germany from 1964 to 1975. Author Joseph Lee was one of them. He worked in the coal mines on a three-year contract with the goal of saving money to earn a doctorate. In What Were Men, Lee shares a collection of stories from his life, including his personal experiences in the mines. He bears witness to the will and the ways of Koreans in Korea and abroad who acted boldly in spite of the difficulties they faced. In this memoir, Lee discusses the various segments of his life. He offers entertaining stories about himself, his wife, and acquaintances who are flawed and so very human. What Were Men narrates the story of a young Korean man who courageously unfolded his will for the future, who thought positively, and who practiced all things together.

Sgt. Joe Massey (Retired) shuns the idea of being politically correct with this insider's account of what it's like to be a Washington, D.C. police officer. He leads readers on a series of adventures that span thirty years in law enforcement, beginning as a police rookie in 1983, to his days with the force's elite SWAT team, to his days with the force's Harbor Patrol Branch, and right up to his retirement in 2012. He learned early on that being a police officer is like being an artist: It's open to interpretation. You must make nonbelievers believe and crush anyone who challenges your authority. Over time, his fellow officers became family, and they supported each other through good times and bad. They did their jobs no matter how dangerous the situation-and concerns about public perception rarely entered the equation. Develop a newfound respect for the dangers that police officers face on a daily basis, as well as changes that are leading to "The Erosion of the Thin Blue Line."
