Guys and Guns Amok: Domestic Terrorism and School Shootings From the Oklahoma City Bombing to the Virginia Tech Massacre

From the recent
shootings at Virginia Tech University to the tragedies at Columbine and
Oklahoma City, certain common traits can be traced through all of these
events. In Guys and Guns Amok, media and cultural critic Douglas Kellner
provides a fascinating diagnostic reading of these acts of domestic
terrorism. Skillfully connecting each case with the current environment
for male socialization and the search for identity in an American
culture obsessed with guns and militarism, Kellner's work is a sobering
reflection on these tragedies and the pervasive power of media and
popular culture as well as a wake-up call for the future.
