The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace: A Brilliant Young Man Who Left Newark for the Ivy League by Jeff HobbsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a fascinating, if ultimately sad and tragic, work of investigative journalism about a man of promise and opportunity lured back lethally to the drug trade in his native New Jersey. The author was at Yale, a dorm mate to Peace. In detail, the rise and fall of Peace is retold without really any serious effort at explaining the inexplicable, or that which needs no explanation.
