A history of the fatal clash between Vietnam War protestors and the National Guard, illuminating its causes and lasting consequences.
What The Reviewers Say
Meticulously researched and reported.
Comprehensive, with copious footnotes, Kent State reads smoothly but is at times bogged down in details: Is it necessary to know what everyone was wearing? However, the book’s relevance to today’s cultural and political divide is inescapable..
VanDeMark succeeds at helping readers understand that atmosphere, creating a chilling narrative of the spark and ensuing tragedy.
VanDeMark fully captures the tenor of the times.
