Summary
Like Watergate and Vietnam, it is an icon of recent history. Gov. Rockefeller's brutal re-taking of the prison--a nine-minute, 1600 bullet assault that took the lives of 29 inmates and 10 guards held hostage--put an end to the four-day rebellion. But the struggles for justice, by both prisoners and guards, endured for three decades.
Note
