A searing indictment of the lack of effective gun laws in America due mainly to a supine Congress and the malign influence of the National Rifle Association. The victims portrayed are mostly black, or mixed-race, from broken families mired in poverty in this the richest country in the world. Obama tried to push through a mild bill to mitigate the senseless slaughter to no avail. This brilliant book ends with a cry of rage and rightly so. Read and mourn.
