Blood in the Water: The Attica Prison Uprising of 1971 and Its Legacy by Heather Ann Thompson

challenging dark informative tense medium-paced

5.0

This book is heartbreaking, especially as you read and consider the conditions of prisons now, over 50 years after the Attica event. The writing is excellent; keeps you engaged in this story spanning decades and hundreds of different individuals who found themselves impacted, one way or another.
