March 11, 2004. The Madrid train bombings kill 193 innocent civilians. What the terrorists didn’t know was on that fateful day they also succeeded in creating their worst nightmare. No one knew who he was, what he looked like, where he came from, nor who he worked for. He was a sniper who could take a target out from 800 yards to a mile.

What happens when a society decides truth is too uncomfortable to bear? Professor Harold Dunst never imagined that quoting Aristotle would end his career. But when he tells his philosophy class that "truth exists independently of how you feel about it," a student's tears spark a national crisis.
