The Battle of Fort Rock - Bruce Grossman - Bog

This fiction novel is based on the facinating true story of how Kevin Moody's attempt to invent a perpetual motion machine leads him to become friends with the famous Kent State hippies in 1989. Little did Kevin know, Kent State was in danger of a riot on May 4, 1990. The Kent State administration disrespectfully scaled back the Kent State May 4 Memorial. The administration disrespectfully and wickedly attempted to interfere with the hippie tradition of ringing the bell on the Commons on May 4, 1990 in rememberance of the 4 students slain on May 4, 1970. Kevin's friendship would help to promote a peaceful and legal protest despite this vicious and wicked disrespect. The non-fiction historical background paper at the end of the novel raises vexing questions about how the May 4 Cover up may effect Notre Dame football and South Bend, Indiana's tourism industry.
