Children Under Fire

More about the book

In a moment when the United States is desperate to better understand and address gun violence, Children under fire offers a way to do just that. John Woodrow Cox weaves wrenching personal stories into a critical call for the nation to embrace practical reforms that would save thousands of young lives. Based on the acclaimed Washington Post series, Children under fire investigates the effectiveness of gun safety reforms as well as efforts to manage children’s trauma in the wake of neighborhood shootings and campus massacres, from Columbine to Marjory Stoneman Douglas. Through deep reporting focused on two children - Ava and Tyshaun - whose lives were forever changed by gun violence, Cox addresses how we can effect change now. -- page 4 of cover
