The American Way of Killing: The Invention of an Epidemic, (Audiobook)

<p><b>Malcolm Gladwell's most urgent book yet: a provocative investigation of America's epidemic of gun violence.</b></p><p>The United States has far more homicides than any of its peers around the world. Why?</p><p>In this groundbreaking book, Malcolm Gladwell explores the American "peculiarity"--how the world's wealthiest country came to suffer from a problem typically only seen in the world's poorest countries.</p><p>Drawing on original interviews, archival and social science research, and his trademark insight, Gladwell approaches the American paradox through a series of stories. What can we learn from the miracle of a young gunshot victim in Washington, D.C.? How have the legal troubles of a seventeenth-century English knight influenced American attempts at gun control? Why would a European police chief be baffled by the graduation ceremony at any American police academy?</p><p>In a sweeping narrative, Gladwell travels from a shooting range in North Carolina, to the South Side of Chicago, to an old plantation house in Alabama, painting a picture of a country that does not understand its most pressing social problem, and as result, does not understand how to fix it.</p>
