ReviewsIlluminating . . . nota tell-all. . . . The Newtown that Matthew Lysiak describes is my Newtown, a town that stuck together and continues to., The real message of Newtown is clear: it is up to America and each and every American to decide whether or not this is going to happen again., Lysiak balances perfectly the ordinarily wondrous lives of [those] who were murdered against their killer's depravity. Lysiak is a master of texture, at selecting precise,individualizing details., Although this is a difficult book to read, I recommend it highly for the very reason the author intended--to be better informed., Although this is a difficult book to read, I recommend it highly for the very reason the author intended-to be better informed., Newtown goes beyond the sensational news bytes we have become so accustomed to. . . . A vivid portrait of the remarkable heroism shown by those involved in the tragedy, and the sheer horror that occurred. . . ., A comprehensive, moving account. . . . A chilling look at Lanza's background and contributing factors. . . . Readers will be hard-pressed to deny the raw emotional gut-punch., Lysiak's examination of our burgeoning mental-health crisis, and how poorly equipped our health care system is to handle the needs of those who suffer from mental health issues,[is] something of a welcome surprise.

SynopsisIn the vein of Dave Cullen's Columbine , the first comprehensive account of the Sandy Hook tragedy--with exclusive new reporting that chronicles the horrific events of December 14, 2012, including new insight into the dark mind of gunman Adam Lanza. 12/14/12 Sandy Hook Elementary School Newton, Connecticut we remember the numbers: 20 children and 6 adults, murdered in a place of nurture and trust. We remember the names: teachers like Victoria Soto, who lost her life protecting her students. A shooter named Adam Lanza. And we remember the questions: outraged conjecture instantly monopolized the worldwide response to the tragedy--while the truth went missing. here is the definitive journalistic account of Newtown, an essential examination of the facts-- not only of that horrific day but the perfect storm of mental instability and obsession that preceded it and, in the aftermath of unspeakable heartbreak, the controversy that continues to play out on the national stage. Drawn from previously undisclosed emails, police reports, and in-depth interviews, Newtown: An American Tragedy breaks through a miasma of misinformation with its comprehensive and astonishing portrayal. this is the vital story that must be told-- today --if we are to prevent another American tragedy in the days to come., The first comprehensive account of the Sandy Hook tragedy-with exclusive new reporting that chronicles the horrific events of December 14, 2012.

Sad story but compelling read.
Very sad to read but a fantastic book. We will probably never learn our lesson as a country about controlling the availability of guns like the one used in this massacre. Maybe one person can read this and modify their opinion about our policies.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
