Omschrijving

A controversial and inspirational true life story that details the appalling prejudice faced by the most senior BAME officer in the London Metropolitan police force.

Inspiring... Sandhu's account of her ascent through the ranks of the Met is testament to her extraordinary tenacity and ambition... Shines an important light on the Met's failure to understand and represent the diverse community it serves.

Parm Sandhu's story is an inspiration to anyone who has found themselves struggling against adversity. It's also a page-turner which everyone who cares about policing and justice in Britain should read.

A captivating exhibition of courage and conviction, Sandhu's story is an inspiration for those facing prejudice and a revelation for those in the dark.

A brilliant book full of nail-biting tension and shocking statistics that make it hard to put down. It made me simultaneously angry and tearful. Parm's story leaps off the page and makes you want to walk every step of the way with her, to be her friend, to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.

Black and Blue is a profoundly moving account of life as a senior police officer. It is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand our police service.

A powerful, page-turning - and often shocking - story of courage. It's essential reading for those interested in the state of policing Britain, and for readers who enjoy memoirs with inspirational bite.

Parm Sandhu joined the police in 1989 and rose through the ranks to become the highest ranking female Asian officer in the Metropolitan Police Service. Among many honours, Parm has been awarded Asian Woman of the Year, the Vasakhi Award (Mayor of London) and Sikh Women of Distinction (Sikh Women's Alliance).

Stuart Prebble was for many years a leading television journalist, notably on ITV's World in Action programme, and later became CEO of ITV. He is now a successful producer and writer.
