Children of Cain: Violence and the Violent in Latin America by Tina Rosenberg

4.0

I know I didn't get all the way through this book, but that was in no way a negative reflection upon the merits of this fine peice of extended journalism. (Only a negative reflection on my atention span as a reader.) What I did read was intense, well-researched and very well-written, a look into a world of violent inequities. Each chapter focuses on a different nation in Latin America with some representative narrative, examining events and characters, usually with the author tracking down and interviewing key players from past headlines. Almost definitely I book I will be picking up again someday to finish
