The 40th  anniversary of  the July 1967  Newark  rebellion has  brought  renewed  attention to  that explosive  time and the  aftermath.  "Revolution 67" is an excellent documentary showing on PBS. Attached here is a book-length article by Tom Hayden which appeared in the New York Review of Books and was later published by Random House. The article was the first exposure of how 26 killings happened during that week. Hayden was responsible for recommending a troop pullout to Governor Richard Hughes after an all night meeting. The Governor agreed to withdraw the troops, and Hayden was dragged before a grand jury demanding his notes. He refused, fearing that the Newark police would intimidate community eyewitnesses to the murders of unarmed people. The grand jury did not indict Hayden, but the Pentagon's special forces used his book in riot control training centers.
