Contrary to the above post's claims, there is no attempt to mandate or control anything in The Missing Gospels, just simply to explain how historical claims made on behalf of these extra-biblical gospels are exaggerated and make for poor history. The book deals with what these texts represented and where they came from, not why they went missing (They were supressed as everyone knows). At one time they did exist and circulated. It is that period and its roots the book treats and is concerned to explain.
