You can smell the gunpowder and feel the sweat and stress of men in extraordinary situations in this amazing page-turner of a world rarely seen by the general public. - Daniel N. Rouse, Lieutenant Colonel U.S. Army, Infantry (Ret.)

Bullet Riddled is not just a book or a story, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to understand what it's like for those that risk everything to save lives that would almost certainly stand no chance at survival without the most elite men taking on evil. - Matt Foster, USMC K9 Explosives Handler, Afghanistan Combat Veteran

In Bullet Riddled Grant Whitus gives a fascinating, true, account of the events of some of the most heinous acts of violence that have occurred in Colorado. The Columbine High School Massacre and the Platte Canyon Tragedy. - Joaquin Baca, former S.W.A.T. operator, arrest control/defensive tactics instructor, Professional MMA trainer

Sometimes an author speaks so clearly and so honestly, the reader feels body-punched by the truth. Grant M. Whitus honors us with his gut-pummeling book, Bullet Riddled: The First S.W.A.T. Officer Inside Columbine…and Beyond. The down-to-earth authenticity embedded in his gritty voice starts immediately with his first-hand reliving of the Columbine massacre. This is not some academic “remembering the events at Columbine”, but an in-your-face, moment-to-moment live replay of good people losing lives and precious loved ones to two brutal, sociopathic youths. Whitus brings us back to the humanity – good and bad – involved. It is a powerful start to telling a larger truth about security in our modern world.

When Whitus becomes the number two man on a Colorado S.W.A.T. Team, his obsessive passion for perfection – based on the certainty that being best is the minimum requirement for a S.W.A.T. team to effectively do its job: saving lives – his rigorous demands accomplish two well-served goals: eliminating sub-par performers, and creating a perfectly effective team – one impeccably trained only to succeed.In Bullet Riddled, Grant M. Whitus makes no apologies either for his strenuous demands or his - until then - unconventional methods, telling a story rife with heart-pounding true life encounters, unencumbered by any need for grandstanding or flattery. His writing is unvarnished, rewarding the reader with a brutally raw account of the truth that echoes: “You want us on that wall; you need us on that wall.” And yet, the power of his message comes less from the machismo of his telling and more from the powerful sense of humanity that motivates it. And, somewhat unexpectedly, what we feel most because of that is gratitude. With perhaps a fist pump in the air.Reviewed By Joel R. Dennstedt for Readers’ Favorite – 5 Stars

What does it feel like to be a cop? In his heartbreaking memoir, Bullet Riddled: The First S.W.A.T. Officer Inside Columbine...and Beyond, Grant Whitus writes, “You wouldn’t know it now, but in my younger days, I must have run from the cops nearly a hundred times (no joke) and never gotten caught. That is until a rude awakening at seventeen…sitting in the back of a police cruiser.” What might have started as an admiration for the way cops speak among themselves and the atmosphere they create with their walkie-talkies soon turned into a powerful call to mission, one in which every step exposed the protagonist to unimaginable dangers. In this heart-pounding memoir, the author lifts the veil and shows readers what being a cop really means. Listen to him narrate the major operations of S.W.A.T, including the well-known Columbine Massacre, the Albert Petrosky shooting, The Platte County Tragedy, and many more dangerous ones.It is a riveting story of courage and limitless generosity, told with bluntness, humility, and simplicity. As one reads Bullet Riddled: The First S.W.A.T. Officer inside Columbine...and Beyond, one is suddenly immersed in that consciousness of the uncertain, the frighteningly scary world of a dedicated cop, who never knows when he would be called to put his life on the line. It is a heroic tale of the joys and woes of putting one’s life on the line to protect the weak, but it is not an altogether joyous ride for the protagonist. In this little book, readers will discover his falls, his fears, and ultimate triumph, but above all, they will discover the secret that made him stay for so long. This is a book that will change the way you look at cops, an engrossing read laced with verifiable facts, and a whole new definition of vocation. A story that will inspire many hearts. Well-written!Reviewed By Romuald Dzemo for Readers’ Favorite – 5 Stars
