"Touches on all aspects of the gun issue in this country. Gives great voice to that feeling...that something real must be done." —San Diego Union-Tribune
"One of the most readable anti-gun treatises in years." —Washington Post Book World
It begins 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.
