Absolutely powerful.
Washington Post
A compelling polemic, disheartening and often moving.
Jake Kerridge, Daily Telegraph
No issue divides Americans as deeply as the debate over guns. Paul Auster begins his examination of armed violence by looking into his own past, having firsthand experience of how families can be destroyed by a single deadly act.
Bloodbath Nation traces the roots of America's obsession with guns through one hundred and eighty years of history. The armed conflict against the native population and the brutal methods used to protect the institution of slavery created a nation that has never fully come to terms with its past.
This tense legacy still hangs over the social and political landscape of the present. Change is necessary, but it seems almost impossible. Auster poses the ultimate question: what kind of country do Americans want to live in? The answer, he argues, will not come from legislation, but from the American people themselves.
