Description
A Death in Belmont by Sebastian Junger explores the lives of three strangers whose paths collided in 1963 in the Boston suburb of Belmont. The brutal events that unfolded that day had far-reaching consequences, drawing in the author's own family and sparking a haunting portrait of America in the 1960s. The story centers around the real-life events that inspired Junger to write this book, including the notorious Boston Strangler case and the assassination of JFK. As he delves into the world of these three protagonists, Junger sheds light on the historic themes of the era, including the rise of immigrants and the tumultuous race relations that prefigured the death of Martin Luther King. This new work by Sebastian Junger is a thought-provoking exploration of America's social turmoil in the 1960s, weaving together the threads of three seemingly unrelated lives to create a compelling narrative.
