Beginning with a broken little boy, and continuing with the career of a police officer while serving in one of the most violent cities in America, Scars of Blue is more than just another book about policing. It is a story of the heart and soul of the man behind the badge. It is a tale of overcoming abuse as a child, a broken marriage, years of working in extreme violence, corruption of fellow officers, threats by police administrators, and near death at the hands of a suicidal individual. This book is a first-hand account of a life shattered. It is also a story of hope and survival. Overcoming mental health issues, and attempts at suicide from the damage endured. Scars of Blue gives you a look at a life while serving the badge, and the fragile humanity of those who wear it. Raw, honest, and compelling- Chad provides a breathtaking account of what it's like to live in the split second moments a police officer has to act in order save lives, as well as the dreadfulness of having to take a life. He describes in vivid detail what it's like to psychologically drown in the emotions these terrifying moments leave forever upon you.

Eric Arthur Blair, George Orwell, was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic. His work is characterised by lucid prose, biting social criticism, opposition to totalitarianism, and outspoken support of democratic socialism. Orwell's work remains influential in popular culture and in political culture, and the adjective "Orwellian"—describing totalitarian and authoritarian social practices—is part of the English language, like many of his neologisms, such as "Big Brother", "Thought Police", "Two Minutes Hate", "Room 101", "memory hole", "Newspeak", "doublethink", "proles", "unperson", and "thoughtcrime".
