The extraordinary events that followed PC Rathband's shooting, as police tracked Moat through towns & countryside, dominated the headlines & became one of the biggest & most controversial news stories of recent times. It ended with a st&-off between Moat & armed police on the banks of the River Coquet in Rothbury. In the middle of it all was PC David Rathb&, a dignified presence throughout. This book is the personal account of the attack & the events surrounding it. It is also the story of his physical recuperation & the gradual & courageous rebuilding of his life, with the help of his family, in the wake of terrible injuries sustained in the line of duty. ...

In my world the word hero is way over-used. In the real world, it s the absolute minimum requirement for PC David Rathb&. ALAN SHEARER David Rathband was a hero in the North East where he lived & was on the path to becoming a national treasure. His death in February this year was an incomparable tragedy, particularly in light of his achievements in both seemingly putting his life back together in the wake of terrible injury & in his determination to help others in a similar situation. His relentless public work with & for the Blue Lamp Foundation, the charity he set up to help servicemen injured in the line of duty, & the courageous rebuilding of his life drew public admiration. A complex & charismatic man, the many hundreds of people who turned up to his memorial service at Newcastle cathedral are a testament to the depth of affection & respect in which he was held, particularly in the North East. Updated with new material by Tony Horne, his friend & co-writer, Tango 190 is Rathband s own, very personal account of his wounding by gunman Raoul Moat in the summer of 2010, the incident which originally brought him to public notice. David was blinded when Moat shot him in the face at point blank range, twenty-four hours after shooting his ex-partner & killing her lover in Gateshead. The shootings sparked the largest police manhunt in British history & ended with a st&-off between Moat & armed police, & the death of the former night club doorman. This book is David s personal account of the attack & the events surrounding it, including his attendance at the trials of Moat s henchmen & his concerns at Northumbria police s alleged mishandling of the situation on the night of the attack. The story becomes even more poignant in the light of PC Rathband s death & his ultimate failure to recover mentally from what had happened to him, despite his heroic efforts. ...
