Kent State, by two-time National Book Award finalist Deborah Wiles, is a compelling exploration of the tragic events surrounding the May 4, 1970, shooting at Kent State University, where National Guardsmen killed four students during a Vietnam War protest. Awarded the American Library Association’s 2021 Odyssey Award for Excellence in Audiobook Production, this narrative unfolds through multiple voices—protesters, Guardsmen, townsfolk, and students—offering a chilling reflection on a pivotal moment in American history that continues to evoke intense debate and emotion.
