{"product_id":"kent-state-1","title":"Kent State By Vandemark, Brian","description":"Kent State re-creates the divided cultural landscape of America during the Vietnam War and heightened popular anxieties around the country. On college campuses, teach-ins, sit-down strikes and demonstrations exposed the growing rift between the left and the right. Many students opposed the war, and were uneasy over poor and working-class kids drafted and sent to Vietnam in their place. Some developed a hatred for everything associated with authority, while others resolved to uphold law and order at any cost.   Focusing on the thirteen victims of the Kent State shooting and a painstaking reconstruction of the days surrounding it, Brian VanDeMark draws on new research and interviews—including the perspective of National Guardsmen who were there. The result is a complete reckoning with the tragedy that marked the end of the sixties.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57836653314430,"sku":"NW9781324116851","price":15.03,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/kent-state-1","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
