About Books, October 31, 2009

Arnie Bernstein's book, "Bath Massacre: America's First School Bombing," investigates the first mass murder at a U.S. school. On May 18, 1927, Andrew Kehoe set off hundreds of pounds of explosives at a school in Bath, Michigan. Thirty-eight children and six adults died. This sensitive account of the bomber, his wife, and the townspeople he damaged is very revealing about the impact of an act of violence.
