520    "A firsthand account of the shocking Tlatelolco Massacre, 
       still denied by the Mexican government. In Mexico City on 
       the night of October 2, 1968, at least two hundred 
       students--among thousands protesting election fraud and 
       campaigning for university reform--were shot dead in a 
       bloody showdown with government troops in Tlatelolco 
       Square. Hundreds more were arrested, and imprisoned for 
       years. Yet these events are nowhere to be found in 
       official histories: that very night the bodies were 
       collected and trucked away and the cobblestones washed 
       clean, and government denial of all involvement began. To 
       this day no one has been held accountable for the official
       acts of savagery. One member of the crowd that night, Paco
       Taibo, would become an international literary figure; '68 
       is his account of the events of October 2, and of the 
       student movement that preceded them, available for the 
       first time in English, with a new epilogue by the author. 
       In provocative, anecdotal prose, Taibo here claims for 
       history "one more of the many unredeemed and sleepless 
       ghosts that live in our lands.""--|cProvided by publisher.
