The American Way of Killing: The Invention of an Epidemic by Malcolm Gladwell is a provocative investigation into America’s persistent crisis of gun violence and its unusually high homicide rate compared with other wealthy nations.

Drawing on original interviews, historical records, social science research, and compelling real-life stories, Gladwell challenges conventional explanations for lethal violence in the United States. Rather than treating gun control as an isolated issue, he examines the deeper cultural, historical, institutional, and legal forces that have shaped America’s approach to crime and punishment.

From the extraordinary survival of a young shooting victim in Washington, D.C., to the legal troubles of a seventeenth-century English knight, Gladwell connects seemingly unrelated events to reveal surprising dimensions of the American experience. He also explores policing, incarceration, and the striking differences between American and European criminal justice systems.

Expanding on reporting originally featured in his Revisionist History podcast, Gladwell presents an accessible examination of why America struggles to understand and address one of its most consequential social problems.
