It attempts to provide an accessible short history of the event, taking into account recently released documents that shed new light on what happened. It has sold about 2000 copies since July. Paul Bowles has contributed to a series of books on "big ideas." His topic is Capitalism and joins other titles exploring such issues as environmentalism, feminism, and (soon to released) terrorism.
