RaveThe Guardian...a gripping account that leads the reader through places as disparate as the vast corn and soya fields of Michigan and the killing fields of Chicago ... It’s a journey through a deeply troubled America that will make its reader want to join the author in howling at the moon ... although all the victims were at the beginning of their lives, this is not a book about innocents gunned down. It is, instead, a gripping account of the conditions that turn so many of America’s powerless into victims ... what makes this book stand out is the strength of its analysis ... Younge has provided us with a beautifully told and empathic account that wrenches at the heart even as it continues to engage the brain.
