## The Book That Corrects What We Think We Know

Almost everything the public believed about Columbine in the years after 1999 was wrong. Dave Cullen spent ten years reporting, reviewing documents, and interviewing survivors and investigators to write a book that dismantles the myths systematically and replaces them with something harder and more accurate. The killers were not loners. They were not bullied. They were not targeting any specific social group. The book does not offer the simple story. It offers the true one.
