"Undercover, you're never just acting; you're only ever a different version of yourself." Neil Woods spent fourteen years (1993-2007) infiltrating drug gangs as an undercover cop, making friends and earning the trust of some of Britain's most violent and unpredictable criminals. But Neil was never the stereotypical, tough cop figure. This is the story of how a thoughtful and idealistic character learned to use his sympathetic nature to master some of the harshest and most dangerous tasks in law enforcement. There was no training, no manual, and no plan on how to tackle the problems; he was just left in a corner and told to build relationships. However, his experience included wild situations, such as being threatened with swords, witnessing beatings, stabbings, and gangsters burning supposed traitors with acid. Based on Neil's experiences, with a perspective that only someone who has fought on the front lines can have, GOOD COP, BAD WAR is both a true crime narrative and a gripping story of a character under pressure.
