Details

On the night of October 2, 1968, there occurred a bloody showdown between student demonstrators and the Mexican government in Tlatelolco Square. At least 200 students were shot dead and many more were detained. Then the bodies were trucked out, the cobblestones were washed clean. Detainees were held without recourse until 1971. Official denial of the killing continues today. Finally, with provocative, anecdotal and analytical prose, Taibo claims for history "one more of the many unredeemed and sleepless ghosts that live in our lands."

We have a limited number of copies available at this greatly reduced price.
