Book description
Although there have been other books written about the Columbine tragedy, this is the first, serious, impartial investigation into the cultural , environmental, and psychological causes of the massacre.

Based on first-hand interviews and a thorough reading of the relevant literature, Ralph Larkin examines the numerous factors that led two young men to plan and carry out their deed.  Rather than simply looking at Columbine as a crucible for all school violence, Larkin places the tragedy in its proper context, and in doing so, examines its causes and meaing.  [from the cover]
