WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD

In 1964, Jonathan Kozol entered the Boston Public School system to teach fourth grade at one of its most overcrowded inner-city schools. Here, he unflinchingly exposes the disturbing "destruction of hearts and minds in the Boston public school." Death at an Early Age is the unsparing, heart-wrenching account of the year he spent there--the most shocking and powerful personal story ever told by a young teacher, now updated with a new epilogue by the author.

"Honest and terrifying... the heartbreaking story it tells has to be read."--Robert Coles, The New York Times Book Review

"Will anger you to the boiling point and may make you want to weep... I recommend--with considerable urgency--Death at an Early Age."--Chicago Tribune
