Another Day in the Death of America

Another Day in the Death of America: A Chronicle of Ten Short Lives is a 2016 non-fiction book by the British journalist and writer Gary Younge.

The book focuses on the stories of 10 American children and teenagers, ranging from the ages of nine to 19, killed by gun violence within a 24-hour time period on November 23, 2013.

Gillian Slovo wrote in her review for The Guardian: "The stories that Younge has uncovered are often sensational but he tells them without hyperbole and accompanies them with an analysis that lays bare the reality of being black and poor in America".

In illuminating the stories of some of these people and of their communities, Younge has provided us with a beautifully told and empathic account that wrenches at the heart even as it continues to engage the brain.

"[23] Margaret Busby's review in The Sunday Times described the book as "deeply affecting", also saying: "Younge vividly humanises the statistics, finding out all he can about each child, and trying to connect with the families and friends of the victims, to give context to what brought them to that deadly full stop.
