KENT STATE Review
On May 4, 1970, the Ohio National Guard gunned down unarmed college students protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University. The fatal shootings triggered immediate and massive outrage on campuses around the country. It was a day that shocked the nation and helped turn the tide of public opinion against America’s war in Vietnam. Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio, which published on the 50th anniversary of the tragedy, is a moving and troubling story about the bitter price of dissent—as relevant today as it was in 1970.
