Flowers Are Better Than Bullets By Rod Dillman Kindle Edition 364 pages 2023
This book was written, and apparently self-published, by a former resident of Suffield. It is a debut novel and a book of great emotional strength. Its power derives from the author’s passion for telling his story, which one suspects is grounded in personal experience. It is essentially the story of what happened at Kent State University during the Vietnam War, the shooting of several students who were engaged in a protest against the war, killing four and maiming nine others. If Rod Dillman was not a student at Kent State during this period, then he deserves all the more credit for portraying it so convincingly.
