On the night of October 2, 1968, there occurred a bloody showdown between student demonstrators and the Mexican government in Tlatelolco Square. At least two hundred 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 even today: In the first week of February 2003, Mexico's Education Secretary Reyes Tamiz ordered a new history textbook that mentions the massacre-Claudia Sierra's History of Mexico: An Analytical Approach-removed from shelves and classrooms. (Public outcry led Tamiz to reverse his decision days later.) No one has yet been held accountable for the official acts of savagery.
With provocative, anecdotal, and analytical prose, Taibo claims for history "one more of the many unredeemed and sleepless ghosts that live in our lands."

Paperback. Condizione: Good. '68 es una agarradora narración en primera persona hecha por uno de los más distinguidos y prolíficos escritores mexicanos de todos los tiempos, acerca de la masacre estudiantil de Tlatelolco llevada a cabo en Ciudad de México en 1968. El propósito de Paco Ignacio Taibo II es el de recuperar, a través de su memoria y de las notas que él mismo tomó durante aquellos días, la verdad de los hechos ocurridos durante el verano del '68 hasta el terrible 2 de octubre. Por lo menos 200 estudiantes fueron matados a tiros y muchísimos más fueron los heridos y los detenidos. Luego, los cuerpos de los miertos fueron sacados con camiones, los adoquines fueron lavados y el atroz crimen "desapareció". Taibo II, con una narración que recuerda Tienanmen y Belgrado, describe la gradual formación del movimiento que, desde algo fragmentado y falto de dirección llegó a convertirse en un grupo revolucionario organizado. No se le escapan al autor los detalles horribles: el bengala lanzado para dar la orden de disparar contra la muchedumbre estudiantil; los cuerpos de estudiantes tirados desde los aviones. Hoy día el recuento oficial de los eventos sigue negando la matanza. A través de una prosa provocadora, anecdótica y analítica, Taibo II reivindica "un fantasma mexicano más, de los muchos fantasmas irredentos e insomnes que pueblan nuestras tierras".
