Mexico: witness to disappearance of 43 students alleges soldiers involved in attack

2. A major story that shouldn't be forgotten.

There's a short, powerful and chilling book about this atrocity by Sergio González Rodríguez entitled The Iguala 43: The Truth and Challenge of Mexico's Disappeared Students. Although it enumerates many facts of the case it is, typical of Rodriguez, a philosophical/existential exploration of the failure of law and order, in the same vein as The Femicide Machine, a meditation on the murder of the women of Juarez.

He was a stupendous journalist/philosopher who died too young and who concerned himself with crucial stories he feared would drop from sight.
