Politics. 1971 Attica prison revolt A TIME TO DIE by Tom Wicker ~"It was a heartbreaking and devastating human experience. I believe I learned more, saw more, and felt more in those four days than in most of the rest of my life." ~What Tom Wicker has learned, seen, and felt is Attica in September 197 I. The prisoners of that upstate New York fortress have revolted, taken hostages, and have forced the authorities into four days of desperate negotiations~an impasse ultimately resolved by a police attack that takes the lives of 43 inmates and hostages. The inmates demand the presence of a group of "observers" to act as mediators. Wicker is one of those summoned. He seems an ideal choice: a political columnist, an Associate Editor of The New York Times, who often expresses concern for the poor and underprivileged. But at Attica he confronts what he has for years been too busy to see. And Tom Wicker faces himself, the white liberal who has supposedly shed the prejudices and provincialism of his Southern upbringing, but who is uneasy at the success that is a facade for his deep sense of failure. Wicker joins the other observers~ministers, politicians, lawyers, radicals~and watches them and himself taking stands and making compromises to fit their common situation and their private constituencies. With them he confronts the hostile prison bureaucracy led by the agonized State Commissioner, Russell G. Oswald, a man torn between his professional loyalties and his sense of humanity. With them, and in fear of his life, Wicker enters the besieged prison yard several times and is profoundly moved by the inmates who denounce with angry eloquence their prison life and the society that sent them to it. Outside, the observers meet the sullen resentment of the state troopers waiting impatiently for the attack. Wicker's own moments come in his attempt to persuade Governor Nelson Rockefeller to come to Attica and as he realizes someone must tell the inmates their revolt is doomed. Through these harrowing events run Wicker's memories of his Southern youth, his turn from the South, his understanding of racism. As the story unfolds, he tries to grasp the meaning of Attica, and the book builds into a major statement on racism and the horrors of prison life and on the America that sustains them. A Time to Die is the gripping story of one of the most dramatic events of our time. It is simultaneously a unique venture in American self~examination. …
