![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It seemed like a good, unsentimental overview at the time, but the way the events are presented here in this book go above and beyond the facts in a good way. That's unfortunate, though, because not only were the aftershocks of this event huge (changes to how law enforcement approach crowd control during protests the cover-up, investigation, and warring opinions about the events and who was at fault), but the Kent State massacre is probably more relevant than ever before considering the protests going on in the US over the past few years.Īt some point in the recent past I read the Wikipedia pages for the Kent State shootings and the four victims who were killed that day. There is so much US history to cover (not to mention all the other world history that's happened before and since) that glossing over a fairly recent event like this is almost understandable. Kent State is an event that I've always been vaguely aware of, but I don't remember it being given too much attention during any history class I took in school. ![]()
