In 1927, in the small township of Bath, Michigan, trusted community member Andrew Philip Kehoe planted more than 600 pounds of dynamite and other explosives in Bath Consolidated School. The bombings killed 45 people, including 38 children, and injured dozens more. The Bath School disaster remains the deadliest act of school violence in the United States, yet many Americans have never heard of it or of Kehoe. This tragedy, while remembered by Bath residents, has been largely ignored by national media - rarely publicly acknowledged, recognized, or memorialized. The Bath disaster contradicts the misconception that mass murders in schools are a modern phenomenon. In this book, scholar Amie Marsh Jones explores era and subsequent news coverage of the Bath disaster, as well as memory sites, via both historic media and archives, in an effort to understand media's role in collective memory of the Bath tragedy of 1927. The book considers how coverage of this early disaster might fit into the overall press narrative of mass murders in schools. A combination of media behavior, the tendency of traumatic memory to silence survivors, and other events and characteristics of the era ultimately proved potent in creating an enduring atmosphere of obscurity around the disaster. Amie Marsh Jones received her PhD in journalism and mass communication from the University of Georgia in 2019. The dissertation version of this book won the 2020 Margaret A. Blanchard Dissertation Prize, an award given annually by the American Journalism Historians Association for the best doctoral dissertation dealing with mass communication history.

Meticulous research provides the fullest insight yet into the impact of this bombing campaign on Britain’s home front during the Second World War. “We shall go out and bomb every building in Britain marked with three stars in the Baedeker Guide,” the German Foreign Office announced in April 1942 as the Luftwaffe attacked Exeter, Bath, Norwich, York and Canterbury. Over a thousand people died. These raids were direct retaliation for RAF raids on equally historic German cities. Hitler had ordered that “Preference is to be given . . . where attacks are likely to have the greatest possible effect on civilian life,” and in this narrow aim—as Jan Gore shows in the first full history of the raids to be published for over twenty years—they certainly succeeded. She explains the Luftwaffe’s tactics, the types of bombs that were used—high explosive, parachute mines and incendiaries—and records the devastating damage they caused. Her main focus is on the effect of the bombing on the ground. In graphic detail she describes the air raid precautions, the role of the various civil defense organizations and the direct experience of the civilians. Their recollections—many of which have not been published before—as well as newspaper articles and official reports give us a vivid impression of the raids themselves and their immediate aftermath. “One can never understand what either side hoped to achieve by destroying historic cities and killing and maiming their citizens during a conflict such as the second world war. Jan Gore attempts to explain the thinking behind it, and the awful consequences . . . A terrific account.” —Books Monthly

"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-selling author 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. Contemporary mass murderers Timothy McVeigh, Columbine's Dylan Klebold, and Virginia Tech's Seung-Hui Cho can each trace their horrific genealogy of terror to one man: Bath school bomber Andrew Kehoe." ---Mardi Link, author of When Evil Came to Good Hart On May 18, 1927, the small town of Bath, Michigan, was forever changed when Andrew Kehoe set off a cache of explosives concealed in 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. The next day, on Kehoe's farm, what was left of his wife---burned beyond recognition after Kehoe set his property and buildings ablaze---was found tied to a handcart, her skull crushed. With seemingly endless stories of school violence and suicide bombers filling today's headlines, Bath Massacre serves as a reminder that terrorism and large-scale murder are nothing new.
