Moore, Wes. The Other Wes Moore: The Story of One Name and Two Fates. Spiegel & Grau. May 2010. 288p. 978-0-385-52819-1. $25

Rhodes scholar. Army captain. White House Fellow. One of Crain’s “Top Young Business Leaders.” And one of People’s “Most Eligible Bachelors.” Moore has it all—including a name he shares with a man born in his neighborhood in the same year who is now serving a life sentence in prison. Here he tells their dual stories, using them to explain the difficulties young men—and particularly young African American men—face in America. Important, especially for urban libraries nationwide.
