Micronesian Blues:
The Adventures of an American Cop in Paradise

by Bryan Vila
as told to Cynthia Morris


One man's rollicking journey toward
cultural awareness....

 

Micronesian Blues tells the true -- and often hilarious -- story of former L.A. street cop Bryan Vila's six years directing the development of law enforcement in Micronesia during the tumultuous period when this former U.S. Trust Territory was making the transition to independence.

Part travel adventure, part policy prescription, Micronesian Blues shares the lessons Bryan learned in Micronesia, and shows how they apply to any cross-cultural training mission.
