Columbine - Nejznámější školní masakr – Cullen Dave (2023)

"Tragedies keep repeating themselves. While we recover from the last horror..." Thus begins the epilogue of a book that shows how the massacre at Columbine High School became a model for nearly two decades of school shootings. It is a false script that a generation of new killers has seized upon. After the events in Aurora and at Sandy Hook and Virginia Tech schools, the need to understand the crime that triggered this calamity becomes more urgent year by year. What really happened on April 20, 1999? This horror left an indelible mark on the American psyche, but much of what we "know" is mistaken. It was not about jocks, goths, or trench-coated mafia. Dave Cullen was one of the first reporters on the scene and worked on this book for ten years, which is widely recognized as the definitive account of the events at that time. With the perspective of an investigator and psychological insight, he draws on mountains of evidence, insights from leading forensic psychologists, and the notes and drawings of the perpetrators themselves. This decade-long work, a masterful piece of true crime journalism, is the definitive account of the Columbine massacre, its aftermath, and significance from an acclaimed journalist who followed the story from the very beginning.
