520    Days after 9/11, an avowed "American terrorist" named Mark
       Stroman, seeking revenge, walked into the Dallas minimart 
       where Raisuddin Bhuiyan, a former Bangladesh Air Force 
       officer, has found temporary work and shoots him, nearly 
       killing him. Giridharadas traces the making of these two 
       men, Stroman and Bhuiyan, and of their fateful encounter, 
       following them as they rebuild shattered lives. Ten years 
       after the shooting, an Islamic pilgrimage seeds in Bhuiyan
       a strange idea: if he is ever to be whole, he must reenter
       Stroman's life. He publicly forgives Stroman, and wages a 
       legal and public-relations campaign to have his attacker 
       spared from the death penalty. 
520    Describes how a Bangladeshi immigrant, shot in the Dallas 
       mini mart where he worked in the days after September 11 
       in a revenge crime, forgives his assailant and petitions 
       the state of Texas to spare his attacker the death 
       penalty.
