Editorial Reviews

"Judge Gill and Wayne Reid have brilliantly captured the insights and lessons of a true case. It is a great resolution for our society and our country—an unexpected book. There is much to learn from this book and its uplifting message."

—Dr. Henry C Lee, professor of forensic science, University of New Haven, former commissioner of the Connecticut State Police

"This drama breaks important new ground in the American effort to stop the unjustified killings of black men by the police. It illuminates the horrific results for the families of the victims as well as the enormous price paid by the police and their families. The authors argue persuasively that everyone loses here. It is high time we heed the searing lessons of death by cop."

—Hugh Price, former president and CEO of National Urban League

"Young men, full of adrenaline, young men whose prefrontal lobes have not yet developed to process the calculus of life. Especially when one carries a gun. This important drama speaks far beyond the personal tragedies in one place at one time. We can and must do better. Be part of the solution, please."

—Peter Samuelson, motion picture producer and founder of First Star
