He has published research books on a variety of subjects, including a half-dozen on serial murder and a pair on outer space studies. In addition, one book reports results of a two-volume national study of consumer product recalls, another is about the functional role of communication in legal practice, and his most recent publication is a rhetorical biography of J. Edgar Hoover.
Gibson’s Ph D. coursework included two Ph. D-level courses in historiography, the study of history. This education provided him the background to analyze and interpret historic events. In addition his BS, MA and Ph. D in communication facilitated his understanding of the 1980 riot at the Penitentiary of New Mexico as a media event, desperate attempts by inmates to cry for help by communicating their plight at the hands of correctional officers and the prison administration.
Gibson’s credentials to write this book were enhanced by in-depth interviews with correctional officers and family members. These interviews provided an invaluable first-hand perspective on one of the two most violent prison riots in American history.ver menos
