{"product_id":"lethal-passage","title":"Lethal Passage","description":"This devastating book illuminates America's gun culture -- its manufacturers, dealers, buffs, and propagandists -- but also offers concrete solutions to our national epidemic of death by firearm. It begins with an account of a crime that is by now almost commonplace: on December 16, 1988, sixteen-year-old Nicholas Elliot walked into his Virginia high school with a Cobray M-11\/9 and several hundred rounds of ammunition tucked in his backpack. By day's end, he had killed one teacher and severely wounded another. In Lethal Passage Erik Larson shows us how a disturbed teenager was able to buy a weapon advertised as \"the gun that made the eighties roar.\" The result is a book that can -- and should -- save lives, and that has already become an essential text in the gun-control debate. With a new afterword. \"Touches on all aspects of the gun issue in this country. Gives great voice to that feeling...that something real must be done.\" --San Diego Union-Tribune \"One of the most readable anti-gun treatises in years.\" --Washington Post Book World","brand":"Landmark Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44412319432944,"sku":"9780679759270","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0586\/1385\/8477\/products\/content_e7a941c3-6067-462e-9bec-fed622890a7e.jpg?v=1700084405","url":"https:\/\/landmark-booksellers.myshopify.com\/products\/lethal-passage","provider":"Landmark Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
