The United States has far more homicides than any of its peers around the world. Why?&nbsp; In his new audiobook book, The American Way of Killing: The Invention of an Epidemic, Malcolm Gladwell explores the American &ldquo;peculiarity&rdquo; &mdash; how the world&rsquo;s wealthiest country came to suffer from a problem typically only seen in the world&rsquo;s poorest countries.&nbsp; Drawing on original interviews, archival and social science research, and his trademark insight, Gladwell approaches the American paradox through a series of stories. What can we learn from the miracle of a young gunshot victim in Washington, D.C.? How have the legal troubles of a seventeenth-century English knight influenced American attempts at gun control? Why would a European police chief be baffled by the graduation ceremony at any American police academy?&nbsp; In a sweeping narrative, Gladwell travels from a shooting range in North Carolina, to the South Side of Chicago, to an old plantation house in Alabama, painting a picture of a country that does not understand its most pressing social problem, and as result, does not understand how to fix it.&nbsp; Here's a preview.
