One of those important chapters that doesn't get taught in the history books, skillfully told in graphic format in the words of a man tortured and beaten for being seen as a leader in a prisoner uprising that he didn't start or participate in (though he did take steps to save a friendly guard from being killed, and he did try to negotiate on behalf of the prisoners and keep order during the events); in the end the prisoners are blamed for the deaths of the hostages (actually shot by the police forces) and the civil lawsuit against NY governor Nelson Rockefeller (who had ordered the violent retaking of the prison directly resulting in a massacre) went to settlement. Bibliography included, as well as a list of those murdered.
