Description
The full story of the Boston Marathon bombing, the hunt for the Tsarnaev brothers, and a city's brave response to terror - drawing from Pulitzer Prize-winning coverage of the story in The Boston Globe.
When two bombs exploded at the densely crowded finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013, the whole world watched in shock as the story unfolded. First, the death toll and life-altering injuries. Next, the identification of the suspects - Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev - and the tense manhunt that brought Boston to a standstill. And, finally, the courageous and inspiring recovery of a wounded American city. Long Mile Home is the riveting tale of that tragic, surreal, and ultimately inspiring week.
Boston Globe journalists Scott Helman and Jenna Russell tell the full story through the eyes of five principal characters - a police officer, a lost daughter, a determined survivor, a trauma surgeon, and the marathon director - tracing the paths that brought them to a tragic intersection with two murderous brothers on that infamous day in April. Including never-before-told stories, unexpected revelations, and unforgettable moments of heroism and humanity, Long Mile Home is both an absorbing, action-packed narrative and a lasting tribute to the bravery and resiliency of the Boston community.
With a new Afterword by the authors.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"A new book about the Boston Marathon bombings last April is more gripping than a mystery novel, has more deeply drawn characters than a literary novel and is enriched by the details of a history book.... It's an incredible story, and the heart-rending pictures in the middle of the book are a stark reminder that it's real, not fiction." (Associated Press)
"The account by tow Boston Globe reporters, Scott Helman and Jenna Russell, succeeds in every way. It is a harrowing narrative of the events and a behind-the-scenes look at the public officials and everyday people forever changed by the attack. It is also a portrait of a major American city, its psyche and the distance runners who consider the race a sacred rite." (The Washington Post)
"Long Mile Home - at times gripping, occasionally hopeful, always heartbreaking - is essential to understanding what happened last April, and, in some ways, the city in which those events happened." (Boston Globe)
