Reviews
"Kent State is meticulously researched...Backderf is in total artistic control of his material."-- "Cleveland Review of Books"
"Kent State, unfolding in sober black and white, is as passionate as it is meticulous in its treatment of the May 4, 1970 killings of four unarmed college students by the Ohio National Guard."-- "The New York Times Book Review"
