Forty years ago, Newark"s oppressed black majority erupted inrevolt and were ruthlessly put down by the police and NationalGuard units. When other reporters were too afraid, Ronald Porambowalked the streets of Newark and took four years to research andwrite the whole story. Its publication resulted in two attempts onhis life.
