Book Review: Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio by Derf Backderf

Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio
by Derf Backderf (YA 741.5 Der)

Kent State: Four Dead in Ohio is the untold story of the shooting of students by National Guardsmen on a college campus in 1970. Extensively researched, heartbreaking and real. I learned a lot from this book. This graphic novel was released on the 50th anniversary of this event.
