"This book is an incredible account of the first school bombing in our nation's history. Skillfully laying the groundwork of the events in the months and years leading up to this disaster, the author leads us through this all but forgotten tragedy, bringing it back to life with an almost minute by minute account of the the day of the disaster.
The reader is introduced to the children and families of victims and survivors both, and is given an almost chilling look into the mind of Andrew Kehoe and what possibly triggered this event.
This book had me riveted from beginning to end and I couldn't recommend it more. This fascinating account is a story that needed to be retold so that it's not forgotten. Loaded with first hand accounts, the reader has a front row seat to the shocking, numbing horror of that day, and can almost smell the dust and smoke and hear the screams of children and parents alike. While the author brings the reader into the horror if the day, he manages to keep it from becoming sensationalistic tabloid style writing. Kudo's to Bernstein for telling the complete story while maintaining respect for both the living and the dead of this event."
"So I live in Bath and had heard about the school bombing but once I read this and saw the pictures of what happened it became much more real. This is a tragic true story of a school bombing in a little town near Lansing. 38 children and 6 adults were killed. This was a very detailed (sometimes too detailed) account of what happened and why it is thought that this tragedy happened."
"I read this book in one sitting. Afterward, I was emotinoally exhausted and shocked. I can't imagine living through an event like that. I have such respect and admiration for the people of Bath, MI."
