“With the meticulous attention to detail of a historian and a storyteller’s eye for human drama, Bernstein shines a beam of truth on a forgotten American tragedy. Heartbreaking and riveting.”
—Gregg Olsen, New York Times best possible-selling creator of Starvation Heights
 
“A chilling and historic character study of the unfathomable suffering that desperation and fury, once unleashed inside a twisted mind, can wreak on a small town. Latest mass murderers Timothy McVeigh, Columbine’s Dylan Klebold, and Virginia Tech’s Seung-Hui Cho can every trace their horrific genealogy of terror to one man: Bath school bomber Andrew Kehoe.”
—Mardi Link, creator of When Evil Came to Good Hart
 
On Might 18, 1927, the small town of Bath, Michigan, was once eternally changed when Andrew Kehoe set off a cache of explosives concealed within the basement of the local school. Thirty-eight children and six adults were dead, among them Kehoe, who had literally blown himself to bits by setting off a dynamite charge in his car. Day after today, on Kehoe’s farm, what was once left of his wife—burned beyond recognition after Kehoe set his property and buildings ablaze—was once found tied to a handcart, her skull crushed. With seemingly endless stories of school violence and suicide bombers filling these days’s headlines, Bath Massacre serves as a reminder that terrorism and large-scale murder are nothing new.
