Summary
"Why Did They Kill?" by John Bartlow Martin is a gripping and chilling account of a seemingly unexplainable crime. Three teenagers, who appear no different from the boys in any neighborhood, suddenly commit a brutal murder that shocks a community. Through meticulous research and detailed storytelling, Martin delves into the psychological and social factors that led these young men to violence. This true crime classic not only unravels the events leading up to the crime but also explores the broader implications of youth, society, and justice in mid-20th century America.
