Harvard Univ Pr, 1998. Trade Paperback. The 1925 Scopes Trial marked a watershed in our national relationship between science and religion and has had tremendous impact on our culture ever since, even inspiring the play and movie, both titled "Inherit the Wind." In addition to symbolizing the evolutionist versus creationist debate, the trial helped shape the development of both popular religion and religious freedom in America. Yet despite its influence on the 20th century, there are no modern histories of the trial and its aftermath. This book fills that void not only by skillfully narrating the trial's events, but also by framing it in a broader social context, showing how its influence has cut across religious, cultural, educational and political lines. With new material from both the prosecution and the defense, along with the author's astute historical and legal analysis, "Summer for the Gods" is destined to become a new classic about a pivotal milestone in American history., Harvard Univ Pr, 1998, 0, W.W. Norton & Company/Viva Books Pvt. Ltd, 2014. Softcover. New. 15 x 23 cm. On December 27, 2007, after a major election rally in Rawalpindi, a suicide bomber, fired shots at former Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto and detonated explosives strapped to his chest. In a country ruled more often by military dictators than by elected governments, Bhutto offered a secular, democratic hope. Her assassination tore the country apart, destabilizing the entire region. Leading an international inquiry, Heraldo Muñoz delved into the murky world of Pakistani politics and the infamous Bhutto family, who rival the Kennedys in charisma, power, and tragedy. His year-long investigation frames a story of betrayals, corruption, foreign influence, turbulent politics, and unsolved political assassinations­all of which led to the death of the countrys leading politician. With impeccable research and insight, Muñoz situates Bhutto in a surprisingly deep, decades-long history of US-Pakistan ties and the emergence of global terrorism, pinpointing the assassination as the moment when US-Pakistani relations were changed forever. Contents: List of Illustrations Preface A Murder Foretold An Early History of Instability Violence in the Family and in the Nation On the Road to Islamabad The US Gravitas in Pakistani Affairs The US-Brokered Return of Bhutto to Her Homeland The Assassination Whodunit? The Investigations Repercussions Epilogue: Reflections on Bhutto, bin Laden, and Pakistans Ties to the United States Acknowledgment Notes Index Printed Pages: 268. NA, W.W.
