Another Day in the Death of America: A Chronicle of Ten Short Lives is a 2016 non-fiction book by the British journalist and writer Gary Younge. The book focuses on the stories of 10 American children and teenagers, ranging from the ages of nine to 19, killed by gun violence within a 24-hour time period on November 23, 2013.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The book follows the lives and deaths of Jaiden Dixon,[11] Kenneth Mills-Tucker,[12] Stanley Taylor,[13] Pedro Cortez,[14] Tyler Dunn,[15] Edwin Rajo,[16] Samuel Brightmon,[17] Tyshon Anderson,[18][19] Gary Anderson,[20] and Gustin Hinnant.[21]

Younge explores how the deaths are "normal" by American standards—in that none of the stories made national news—but not "normal" by civilized standards. The book was published by Nation Books.
