I was a junior in high school when this tragedy happened at Kent State. A couple years later, while aboard the USS Ranger, I bought a book from the ship's store, by James A Michener "Kent State- How It Happened, Why It Happened, And How To Prevent It From Happening Again." This is the most in-depth study done on this tragic series of events, in fact the court subpoenaed Michener and his book notes
for the trial of the National Guardsmen. It is a long read, but well worth it if you want to get a grasp on how this whole thing developed and came down. Of course the ringleaders, Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman, after coming in and stirring up the bee's nest, got out of Dodge before things got really hot.
