Columbine

Ten years of meticulous research went into this definitive account of the Columbine massacre and its legacy. Dave Cullen was one of the first reporters on the scene on April 20, 1999, and he spent a decade reconstructing the full horror and complexity of the tragedy. He traces the devastation wrought on the Columbine community, the national debate it provoked on guns, faith, the role of media, and the life lessons survivors drew from the worst school shooting in American history. Cullen's work exploded many myths about the Columbine killers and became the standard reference on the topic.
