It didn't seem possible. Four college students shot dead May 4, 1970, by Ohio National Guardsmen during a protest against the Vietnam War. The shootings at Kent State University would shock the nation and spark a mass student strike across the country, the only one in U.S. history.

A photojournalism student's photograph of a teen girl crying in anguish over a victim's dead body would win the Pulitzer Prize and become a symbol of the antiwar movement.

Might have enjoyed it but...

the audio skips too much. Somebody should review the titles before allowing them on the site.

A concise history and overview of the events of May 4, 1970

I was nine years old at the time of the Kent State shooting. This book does a good job of giving background to the story and a general overview of the involvement of the United States and Vietnam.
