Roger Morris holds a Ph.D. in government from Harvard University. After a brief stint as a foreign service officer, he served as a White House aide and then on the staff of the National Security Council under Presidents Johnson and Nixon. He is the author of Uncertain Greatness: Henry Kissinger and American Foreign Policy, Haig: The General's Progress, and Richard Milhous Nixon: To the Threshold of Power, volume one in a multivolume biography. In 1985, Morris won the coveted Bronze Medal of the Investigative Reporters and Editors for the most distinguished journalism across all media nationwide.
'The story of the 1980 convict uprising at the New Mexico State Penitentiary at Santa Fe...extremely well researched, with copious, detailed footnotes. Highly recommended.' -Library Journal

Morris's meticulous documentation traces prison corruption and proving the tragedy could have been avoided. It is inevitable that this or any other account of what took place behind those walls would be sensationalistic but Morris goes beyond that to expose the corruption, the cronyism, the wholesale negligence and the stupidity that keyed the riot and continue to infect the entire New Mexico penal system. A profoundly disturbing book. Contents in Seven Chapters: Foreshadow, Take over, Carnage, Siege, Surrender, Aftermath, and Foreshadow. Plus Epilogue and Notes. Seller Inventory # 21945
