Parkland: Birth of a Movement by Dave Cullen
3.0
It's hard to read this several years after the Parkland shooting in a world where meaningful gun legislation has not only stalled, but moved the opposite direction with gun laws loosening in many states and gun sales reaching record highs.
The biographies of the students who used a shooting at their high school as a jumping off point for a movement to end gun violence was less interesting to me than the dichotomy of privileged kids at a suburban school who face gun violence once in a lifetime with poor kids in Chicago for whom gun violence is a daily reality.
