The Road to Hell: The True Story of George Jackson, Stephen Bingham and the San Quentin Massacre

Description

Award-winning author Paul Liberatore traces the chilling story of a young black man convicted of a $70 robbery who became a bestselling writer and a "revolutionary hero" of the counterculture and the young, white, Yale-educated civil rights activist who became his lawyer. On August 21, 1971, inmate George Jackson led the infamous San Quentin massacre, which resulted in his death and the deaths of five others. Two months later, Stephen Bingham was indicted for murder and conspiracy for allegedly smuggling the gun to Jackson.
