"Douglas Daye provides an excellent "how to" source book for acquiring and applying cross-cultural skills within the realm of protecting Asian-American communities and fighting Asian organized crime. Anyone serious about working in the field of Asian investigations should add this resource to the library."
-Crime & Justice International
"Chock full of pithy and practical ideas, including checklists and 'Do's and Don'ts,' it is exactly what every police department dealing with Asian crime will want to have in its squad room."
- M. Cordell Hart, Senior Intelligence Analyst, Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Department of Treasury
"Cops who have been working in the field of Asian investigations for years will learn something from this book. Police officers who have never worked such cases will stand a better chance of success if they have it in their library. It is the kind of book that one will refer to again and again over the years. It is inevitable that this book will be used as the basis for testimony in criminal courts across America in coming years."
- Lt. Jack Willoughby, New Orleans Police Department
"This book is a 'must have' for any police intelligence operation as well as for any police academy staff that might even think of teaching their officers something about Asian crime and criminals."
