This title in other formats:Tears of Rage: From Grieving Father to Crusader for Justice: The Untold Story of the Adam Walsh Caseby Connor Hartnett
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The host of the America's Most Wanted, John Walsh tells for the first time the full story of the 1981 abduction and murder of his six-year-old son, Adam. This is the heartbreaking chronicle of John Walsh's transformation from grieving father to full-time activist — and the infuriating conspiracy of events that have kept America's No. 1 crime-fighter from obtaining justice and closure for himself and his family. From the day Adam disappeared from a mall in Hollywood, Florida, John Walsh faced a local police department better equipped to track stolen cars than missing children — and a criminal justice system that would work against him in unimaginable ways. Outraged but determined, he ultimately enlarged the search for Adam's killer into an exhaustive battle on behalf of all missing and abused children, beginning with his efforts to put missing children's faces on milk cartons. Today, John Walsh continues the fight for legislative change and public awareness, driven by his own personal tragedy. Tears of Rage is the story of a true American hero: a man who challenged the system in the name of his son. Review:Time From its searing prologue through its frank re-creation of the lives undone by Adam's murder, Tears of Rage astonishes the reader. Review:Sun-Sentinel (FL) Tears of Rage is a superb book, intellectually and emotionally challenging and compulsively readable....A riveting story...scrupulously documented.
