From the Publisher
"A dramatic and, inevitably, a heart-breaking book. It bristles with dramatic incident and anecdote .... It is an excellent job of reporting and bringing into human terms an enormously complicated event that will be discussed and analyzed for decades."
— San Francisco Chronicle
"Kent state is a superbly written work, meticulous in its detail, objective in approach, heart-breaking in its impact....No brief review can suggest Michener's scope or the power of his understated but unflinching presentation of the facts of the tragedy and its aftermath."
— Publishers Weekly
"Kent state is a masterpiece about one of the dramatic historical events of our time. It surpasses anything published on the subject until now."
— Cleveland Press
