Dave Cullen was among the first to arrive at Columbine High, even before most of the SWAT teams went in. In March 2018, Cullen went to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School - In nearly twenty years witnessing the mass shootings epidemic escalate, he was stunned and awed by the courage, anger, and conviction of the high school's 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. Cullen unfolds the story of Parkland through the voices of key participants whose diverse personalities and outlooks comprise every facet of the movement. Deeply researched, Parkland is an in-depth examination of this pivotal moment in American culture. As it celebrates the passion of these astonishing students who are making history, this spellbinding book is an inspiring call to action for lasting change.
