Erik Larson, "Lethal Passage: The Story of a Gun"
English | 1995 | ISBN: 0679759271 | EPUB | pages: 280 | 1.8 mb
This devastating book illuminates America's gun culture - its manufacturers, dealers, buffs, and propagandists - but also offers concrete solutions to our national epidemic of death by firearm. Itbegins with an account of a crime that is by now almost commonplace: on December 16, 1988, sixteen-year-old Nicholas Elliot walked into his Virginia high school with a Cobray M-11/9 and several hundred rounds of ammunition tucked in his backpack. By day's end, he had killed one teacher and severely wounded another.
In Lethal Passage Erik Larson shows us how a disturbed teenager was able to buy a weapon advertised as "the gun that made the eighties roar." The result is a book that can - and should - save lives, and that has already become an essential text in the gun-control debate.
With a new afterword.
