Image one: E-book titled Kent State: Death and Dissent in the Long Sixties (2016) - synopsis: On May 4, 1970, National Guard troops opened fire on unarmed antiwar protesters at Kent State University in Ohio, killing four students and wounding nine others, including the author of this book. The shootings shocked the American public and triggered a nationwide wave of campus strikes and protests. Author Thomas M. Grace shows that the events of May 4 were not some tragic anomaly but were grounded in a tradition of student political activism that extended back to Ohio's labor battles of the 1950s.
Image two: E-book titled The Last Great American Picture Show: New Hollywood Cinema in the 1970s (2004) - synopsis: The Last Great American Picture Show brings together essays by scholars and writers who chart the changing evaluations of the American cinema of the 1970s, sometimes referred to as the decade of the lost generation, but now more and more recognized as the first New Hollywood, without which the cinema of Francis Coppola, Steven Spielberg, Robert Zemeckis, or Tim Burton could not have come into existence.
