William Briggs. 2017. How America Got Its Guns: A History of the Gun Violence Crisis; (Albuquerque, University of New Mexico Press). Paperback: ISBN 978-0-8263-5813-4. E-book ISBN 978-0-8263-5814-1. Mathematician William Briggs (co-author of the well-regarded Understanding and Using Mathematics) has written a remarkably thorough and evenhanded analysis of gun policy in the United States that draws upon the work of historians, legal scholars, social scientists, and advocates. He gives respectful hearings to claims about the importance of both gun rights and gun control. The breadth of his coverage makes it almost certain that any reader will discover new angles for thinking about gun issues.

Dr. Richard Greenleaf has been one of the most influential historians of colonial Latin America in general, and of the Inquisition in particular. He received his university and graduate education in his home state at the University of New Mexico. His professional career took him to Mexico City during the exciting period of the 1950s and 1960s. From there he went on to be one of the guiding forces in the consolidation of the Latin American Studies program at Tulane University. This interview was conducted in the summer of 2007 at Dr. Greenleaf's residence in Albuquerque.
