Nineteen years ago, Dave Cullen was among the first to arrive at Columbine High, even before most of the SWAT teams went in. While writing his acclaimed account of the tragedy, he suffered two bouts of secondary PTSD. He covered all the later tragedies from a distance, working with a cadre of experts cultivated from academia and the FBI, but swore he would never return to the scene of a ghastly crime. 

But in March 2018, Cullen went to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School because something radically different was happening. In nearly twenty years of witnessing the mass shootings epidemic escalate, he was stunned and awed by the courage, anger, and conviction of the high school students. Refusing to allow adults and the media to shape their story, these remarkable adolescents took control, using their grief as a catalyst for change, transforming tragedy into a movement of astonishing hope that has galvanized a nation. 

Deeply researched and beautifully told, Parkland is an in-depth examination of this pivotal moment in American culture - and an up-close portrait that reveals what these extraordinary young people are like as kids.
