If you like Cox' newspaper columns, this book is worth the read. If you happen to be around 50 years old, as I am, and want to see reduced to the printed page those recollections of events that took place in your lifetime, and that formed a part of your life's experience, it is worth the read. It amazes how one's perception of things may be closely shared by another, but with the colorations of each determined by how close one is to the subject at the time and to how much more of the details one is privy.
On analysis, this book makes a good case for the author's own argument often made in his newspaper column that newspapers are good primary sources for historians. I predict that history will prove this book not only a worthy reference for those who today wish to improve their skills in handling relations with the Fourth Estate, but also a worthy primary source for those future historians who will try to distill the essence of Texas life from 1950s to the `90s.
A note to collectors. This first edition of the paperback has a typographical on the cover, leaving out the "the" in the book's title, that is otherwise present on the title page. (The dust jacket of the hardcover edition shares this affliction.) This will surely be corrected in the next edition, so it is worth snapping up now a copy of this one. I have suspected for a while that these little blemishes may be by design. I first came across this phenomena of a hidden deflection from the title page planted on the book's cover in Cox' children's book "Texas Rangers: Men of Valor and Courage" (cover: "Men of Courage and Valor"). Like the $.02 U. S. Airmail stamp of years past with the biplane flying upside down, these little peccadillos, over time, add value. As many may not know, Cox and his bride are also notable rare book dealers, so who would be in a better position to appreciate those things that may add to appreciation.

Other than Mike Cox and his wife Linda, I perhaps know as well as anyone how close this book came to never being written. Mike is my hunting buddy, and as he reveals in the book, he learned he had cancer during a particularly tumultuous time in his career as Public Information Officer for the Texas Department of Public Safety.
After his concern for his family, his chief worry during that time was that each hunt we went on might be his last. I'd remind him of the early hours and long days we'd face, and he'd say, "But this might be my last chance to go hunting." So we'd go.
Ironically, I probably came closer to killing him than cancer did. We went deer hunting one December when radiation and chemotherapy had him whipped down about as far as he could go and still hold on. By the time the sun came up that morning, Mike had killed one deer, and I had killed three. We spent the rest of the day skinning, cutting up, and packaging those deer. I gave Mike the easiest jobs, but we were both seriously exhausted by the time the day was over. Yet he never complained. We had a good hunt.
It's that kind of spirit in the face of grinding obstacles that permeates Mike's book, "Stand Off in Texas." While one gets a sense of the tremendous pressure he was under at Killeen, Waco, and Fort Davis, he never once tries to make you feel sorry for him. It's obvious he did not feel sorry for himself. There was a job to be done--a hard, nasty, thankless job--but it was his job, and he did it, without complaint.
"Stand Off in Texas" tells Mike's story in the self-effacing way you'd expect of a man who is the spokesperson for the law enforcement department that includes the Texas Rangers, officers whose mottoes include "No man in the wrong can stand up against a man in the right who keeps on comin'."
Mike Cox keeps on comin' in the best tradition of the Rangers. We're going hunting again come December.

Excellent read. Good insight into many Texas criminal events. Read it about 2 decades ago, but forgot the title & author; I am very glad to have stumbled across it at a local library today.
