FIRST BLOOD The novel by Johnny Russell

An undisciplined youth who was responsible for one of the gravest American dilemmas facing the country today, the scourge of gang violence.
 










FIRST BLOOD offers a dramatic and realistic fictionalized account of the origins of the infamous Blood and Crips street gangs and explores the factors, that led to the formation of this dangerous segment of our society. This well crafted saga was written in the gritty, "kick in the teeth" style of the streets itself. As the Bloods and the Crips begin a vicious rivalry like no other, another heartbreaking story is taking place behind the scenes as Neon’s family suffers the devastating results that come from a young man’s choices in a city that shows no mercy.


It is the heartbreaking story of the breakup of the American urban family and the devastating results that come from survival on the streets. Raw in its honesty and uncompromising in its depiction of urban life, it will disturb and provoke, as surely as it educates and entertains. It is presented it in a format made for a wide cross section of readers. It is a heart wrenching emotional roller coaster, filled with laughter, pity, violence, anger, joy, prejudice, and shame.

As a thirty year law enforcement officer, Johnny RusselI has published several articles and stories in San Diego Police Department and Police Officer Association publications.
