    About this ebook

    Surviving War and Crime traces N. Pat Miller’s journey from a quiet life in suburban Washington, D.C., to the jungles of South Vietnam, and to the streets of America, where he was a police officer for twenty-eight years.

    Depicted mostly in short stories and anecdotes, the author gives readers a behind-the-scenes look of what it means to be a soldier and police officer. Staff Sergeant Miller led a platoon of soldiers through the horrors and hardships of combat. When he returned home from the war, Officer Miller was chosen to start a plainclothes unit that targeted burglaries, robberies, and other crimes in the crime-ridden suburbs of Washington, D.C. Years of unmatched success led to the formation of a permanent tactical, investigative unit.

    First in uniform, then a detective, the author went on to become a homicide investigator, concluding his career as the sergeant in charge of the Homicide Cold Case Unit.

    Throughout Miller’s journey, his Christian faith led him to realize that God played a critical role in ensuring that he not only survived but thrived.

      YOU’D think I might be embarrassed to write about truthfulness. And, if not embarrassed, I’d at least feel a little shameful. The truth is, where I come from, the clean-as-a-bone truth is never appreciated as much as a good story that provides an ext

      An unsolved murder is central to the plot of All That’s Left Unsaid, but it’s so much more than a crime thriller. Family and friendship, the immigrant experience, racism and perfectionism are all themes that are explored within the pages of this rela

      I loved Joe Dahut’s piece on “Life After Pitching” (Tippets, Summer 2020). I sent it to my younger brother, Ed, who was a pitcher for the Minnesota Gophers during the Dave Winfield/Paul Molitor era. He is also a flyfisherman, and his only comment was
