Parkland: Birth Of A Movement

"By now, I have a sense of how the coverage around mass shootings tends to unfold; I’ve been at NPR less than four years and have covered nearly a dozen of them. Parkland was different – and Dave Cullen’s book shows why. The author of the definitive book on Columbine flew down and embedded with the kids behind March For Our Lives within a week of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and stayed with them for nearly a year. The book is a strikingly beautiful look at the origins, evolution and people of a movement that has touched the nation."
