Totally aware of the basics about this event, I learned a lot from this dense graphic novel that covers the events leading up to the deadly shootings at Kent State. It is difficult to read and not wonder how this ended up happening...but as you read you get different perspectives. It all kind of comes together as a situation where many things spiraled out of control. If you make decisions about others without communicating or having any ability to see their perspective, it is easier to see how tragedy can result. The author is not super forgiving towards the leaders but also gives us a lot of background on them. How do we prevent this type of thing? Based on things happening today, it seems like we have not learned many lessons since Kent State.
