FBI Miami Firefight: Five Minutes that Changed the Bureau

If you had a choice between living and dying, which would you choose?

On April 11, 1986 in Miami, Florida, eight FBI agents and two violent bank robbers were engaged in a five-minute gunfight that changed law enforcement training, equipment, and tactics across the United States. More than 150 shots were fired during the incident. In the end, nine of the ten participants were shot.

Five agents were wounded—including FBI Special Agent Ed Mireles, who was shot twice. Despite devastating injuries, Mireles improvised, adapted, and overcame overwhelming obstacles to end the fight.

This book is a firsthand account of the events, decisions, and actions that unfolded during the “FBI Miami Firefight,” often described as the “OK Corral” of the 20th century and the “Five Minutes that Changed the Bureau.”
