RICOCHET: GUNS, GREED AND THE AMERICAN WAY OF VIOLENCE

Tune to City Warch on WBAI 99.5 FM NY on Thursday, July 23 at 5:00 PM ET when host Jeff Simmons welcomes Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Mike McIntire to discuss his new book, Ricochet: Guns, Greed, and the American Way of Violence.

McIntire, a member of the investigations unit at The New York Times, examines America’s relationship with guns through the lenses of history, commerce, politics, power, and culture. The book traces how war, slavery, crime, the gun industry, Wall Street, the NRA, political influence, and dark money have shaped a national crisis that continues to touch schools, families, communities, and public life.

Join us for a timely conversation about gun violence in America, the forces that sustain it, and whether there is a path forward.

Then, in the second half of the show, the phone lines are open, so call (212) 209-2877.

Listen live on WBAI 99.5 FM New York and streaming at WBAI.org.
