About this title

Synopsis

A probing and dramatic study of the tragic events leading up to the killing of four students by National Guardsmen at Kent State University in the spring of 1970

From the Publisher

My father served in Vietnam, but does not discuss it often. So, I try to read as much as I can about Vietnam so I can learn about what it must have been like for him. Most of what I read is about actual cobmat experiences, but I also find it interesting and important to know what was happening "back in the states" during the Vietnam era. The shootings at Kent State had a profound effect on the anti-war movement, and James Michener skillfully examines this tragic moment in U.S. history in KENT STATE: WHAT HAPPENED AND WHY.
--Stacey Witcraft, Advertising Manager
