Book TV: Arnie Bernstein, author of "Bath Massacre: America's First School Bombing"

On May 18, 1927, Andrew Kehoe set off explosives in the basement of the Bath Consolidated School in Bath, Michigan that killed 38 children and 6 adults. Mr. Kehoe later killed himself by explosive detention in his car. Mr. Bernstein details how Bath was changed after the attack and profiles several of the survivors.

@sosassycassie That's very sad, and I am sorry

Interesting!

It is a great story and I was surprised growing up in DeWitt that I hadn't heard about it. The book itself isn't written very well. It comes across as a buch of notes and not tied together well. There are also moments where information is given and you wonder what the point was. Also if I never hear the word, "Gingerly" again it will be too soon.

The first two children named were my grandfather's sister and brother. He never got to know them. He was just five months old on that day.
