In this gripping, objective investigation into modern policing, former BBC journalist Nitza Brown uses the case of Ali Dizaei to show the paralysing effect political correctness is having on top police officers. Commander Ali Dizaei was an outspoken critic of racism in policing and was once tipped to become the next Met Commissioner. But Dizaei's twice-tried conviction for corruption and perverting the course of justice was confirmed by the court of appeal in 2013. Originally a supporter of political correctness and a team working to clear Dizaei's name, Nitza Brown describes in this thought-provoking book what made her change her views. Based on exclusive material, including many hours of interviews and letters sent to her by Dizaei from prison, this is both a fascinating personal story and a shocking indictment of modern policing.
