Author: Joe Sexton

The Lost Sons of Omaha by Joe Sexton is an in depth look at a shooting/murder during the protests after George Floyd’s murder, as well as the aftermath of that killing.
This book is meticulously researched and should be required reading for anyone in journalism, said a review on Goodreads.com.
“It’s not an easy read, but it’s one that makes you think,” the review added.
The book examines some of the most pressing issues facing America today, including the country’s dire need for gun control and mental health reform; the dangerous spread of fake news and the urgent call to band together in the collective pursuit of truth, fairness and healing.
Through dogged reporting and clear prose, “The Lost Sons of Omaha” elevates a made-for-social-media tragedy into a kaleidoscopic account of race, justice and urban politics, the legacy of our forever wars and the flaws of the legal system.
Sexton “shows that even events where we can easily make a snap judgement about right or wrong is never quite so straightforward,” said the review.
