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, \u003ci\u003eBath Massacre\u003c\/i\u003e serves as a reminder that terrorism and large-scale murder are nothing new.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Michigan Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47025826693360,"sku":"9780472033461","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780472033461_p0.jpg?v=1763707737","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780472033461","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
