The American Way of Killing: The Invention of an Epidemic
Description
Why does the United States experience far more lethal violence than other wealthy, highly educated nations? This incisive investigation explores the paradox of American gun violence through compelling stories drawn from emergency rooms, Hollywood westerns, urban police departments, and Supreme Court arguments. Blending cultural analysis, history, and reporting, it examines how ideas about firearms, masculinity, law, self-defense, and violence became woven into American life. The result is a provocative exploration of one of the country’s most urgent and divisive crises.
