Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for Truth
Elizabeth Williamson
I'm reading the startling new book Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for Truth by @NYTLiz. It starts painfully but sensitively, then spins into the infuriating conspiracy theories that continue to haunt the parents of 20 innocent children. https://t.co/GIBxnDuDCd

In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin
Erik Larson
I’m late to Erik Larson’s In the Garden of Beasts but every time you read about Germany in the 1930s, you’re struck by how a diet of hate leads inevitably to violence, state-sanctioned or not. It is license from on high. #ColoradoSprings
