It has taken ten years for someone to summon the fortitude to investigate and reveal the full story behind the Columbine murders. Appropriately, that person is Dave Cullen, a Denver reporter who was among the first to arrive at the horrific scene on April 20, 1999, and then spent the next decade interviewing everyone he could find with a connection to the shootings, and poring over thousands of pages of police reports and FBI files. Cullen conclusively shows that the accepted image of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold as disgruntled, unpopular outcasts with a grudge against a select few in their high school class is profoundly false. The truth is even more terrifying--the boys had planned to annihilate the entire school with a series of bombs. Hopefully, Cullen`s exhaustive research, which included access to the disturbing content of the killers` personal journals, will bring some semblance of closure to the families of the victims, and add considerably to the insight and information needed to defend against a repetition of this tragedy. Selected by Publishers Weekly as one of the 100 Best Books of 2009 and by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2009.

Starred ReviewIn this remarkable account of the April 20, 1999, Columbine High School shooting, journalist Cullen not only dispels several of the prevailing myths about the event but tackles the hardest question of all: why did it happen? Drawing on extensive interviews, police reports and his own reporting, Cullen meticulously pieces together what happened when 18-year-old Eric Harris and 17-year-old Dylan Klebold killed 13 people before turning their guns on themselves. The media spin was that specific students, namely jocks, were targeted and that Dylan and Eric were members of the Trench Coat Mafia. According to Cullen, they lived apparently normal lives, but under the surface lay "an angry, erratic depressive" (Klebold) and "a sadistic psychopath" (Harris), together forming a "combustible pair." They planned the massacre for a year, outlining their intentions for massive carnage in extensive journals and video diaries. Cullen expertly balances the psychological analysis-enhanced by several of the nation's leading experts on psychopathology-with an examination of the shooting's effects on survivors, victims' families and the Columbine community. Readers will come away from Cullen's unflinching account with a deeper understanding of what drove these boys to kill, even if the answers aren't easy to stomach. (Apr. 6) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.
