Lee Boyd Malvo, preface to the book "Diary of the D.C. Sniper." Our book can be found on Amazon. I believe to be an important text because it details each and every moment that shaped his mindset. The diary contains extremely private information about Lee Boyd Malvo's life. The diary will become increasingly important in determining what exactly his mindset was prior to meeting John Allen Muhammad. That is the important take-away from this book. Was Lee Boyd Malvo a very angry and distrusting person long before he met John Allen Muhammad? The answer to that is a clear and convincing "yes."
