The Kent State Tragedy (American Moments) [Library Binding]

Rachel A. Koestler-Grack (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 4-7. The far-flung American Moments series chronicles milestone events in American history, This entry explores the deadly 1970 clash between Vietnam War protestors and National Guard soldiers and its aftermath. Although the format precludes nuanced analysis, this still offers a solid introduction to the topic and a basic, if somewhat superficial, sense of the era in which it occurred. Numerous black-and-white photos of the victims and their anguished friends will be particularly effective in drawing readers into the narrative. End matter includes a time line, a glossary, and directions for accessing online resources posted on the publisher's Web site. Other titles in the series include The Industrial Revolution, The Assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, and The Pony Express. Ed Sullivan
