Sheriff Joe Arpaio: An American Legend

In "Sheriff Joe Arpaio: An American Legend," the controversial six-term Maricopa County Sheriff recounts his extraordinary journey from beat cop to international law enforcement figure. Arpaio pulls no punches as he details his undercover work dismantling the French Connection drug trafficking ring, his creation of the infamous Tent City jail, and his steadfast commitment to immigration enforcement that earned him both devoted followers and fierce critics.

Written in his own words with David Thomas Roberts, Arpaio provides an unfiltered look at the political forces that ultimately led to his criminal contempt case and subsequent presidential pardon from Donald Trump. He reveals explosive details about his investigation into President Obama's birth certificate and claims of illegal surveillance targeting his office—allegations that connect to the same intelligence figures later involved in investigations of President Trump.

This memoir offers readers unprecedented access to Arpaio's perspective on his decades-long career, complex legal battles, and the shadowy networks he believes orchestrated his downfall. From his early years as an Italian immigrant's son to becoming "America's Toughest Sheriff," Arpaio's story is one of unwavering conviction in the face of powerful opposition.
