FOUR LONG DAYS: Return to Attica

For the first time since the Attica Prison Riot of September 1971, a unique human interest story has been written. FOUR LONG DAYS: Return to Attica by Anthony R. Strollo (a former Attica Correctional Officer and New York State Trooper) and written by Dorothy Wills-Raftery; is a gritty, sometimes graphic, yet inspirational human drama set against an emotionally charged period of time that will forever be forged into the pages of New York State's history of the Criminal Justice System.
A true human interest story told through a gripping text and many photos, this book does not focus on the political aspects - nor does it take sides as to the cause or causes of this most tragic event in the history of the American prison system.
FOUR LONG DAYS: Return to Attica follows Strollo's life after he leaves Attica Prison where he worked with his older brother, Frank. Little did Strollo know when he joined the New York State Police in 1968, that he would one day return to Attica as a Trooper assigned to the hostage rescue detail. He also never realized just how prophetic his wife's dreams were until one very disturbing dream about a prison riot became a grim reality...
Correctional Officer Frank Strollo had been taken hostage, and no one knew if he was even alive.
For Trooper Strollo and his family, September 9, 1971 marked the beginning of four long days.
