520    On September 9, 1971, nearly 1,300 prisoners took over the
       Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York to 
       protest years of mistreatment. Holding guards and civilian
       employees hostage, during the four long days and nights 
       that followed, the inmates negotiated with state officials
       for improved living conditions. On September 13, the state
       abruptly ended talks and sent hundreds of heavily armed 
       state troopers and corrections officers to retake the 
       prison by force. In the ensuing gunfire, thirty-nine men 
       were killed -- hostages as well as prisoners -- and close 
       to one hundred were severely injured. After the prison was
       secured, troopers and officers brutally retaliated against
       the prisoners during the weeks that followed. For decades 
       afterward, instead of charging any state employee who had 
       committed murder or carried out egregious human rights 
       abuses, New York officials prosecuted only the prisoners 
       and failed to provide necessary support to the hostage 
       survivors or the families of any of the men who'd been 
       killed. Heather Ann Thompson explores every aspect of the 
       uprising and its legacy from the perspectives of all of 
       those involved in this forty-five-year fight for justice: 
       the prisoners, the state officials, the lawyers on both 
       sides, the state troopers and corrections officers, and 
       the families of the slain men 
520    "Historian Heather Ann Thompson offers the first 
       definitive telling of the Attica prison uprising, the 
       state's violent response, and the victims' decades-long 
       quest for justice--in time for the forty-fifth anniversary
       of the events"--|cProvided by publisher
