Lipstadt, Deborah E
Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory
Old Tappan New Jersey U.S.A.: Free Pr 1993. 278pp. In this first full-scale history of Holocaust denial Lipstadt shows how despite tens of thousands of living witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence this irrational idea has not only continued to gain adherents but has become an internationally organized movement. The denial of the Holocaust has no more credibility than the assertion that the earth is flat. Yet it is a sad testament to our time that those who make such claims are no longer dismissed as members of the lunatic fringe but are gaining a hearing in respectable arenas. In this first full-scale history of Holocaust denial the author shows how despite tens of thousands of living witnesses and vast amounts of documentary evidence this irrational idea has not only continued to gain adherents but has become an internationally organized movement.

It was said that you could smell the battlefield miles before you reached it -- a fetid odor of death. It was where the poppies grew in Flanders Fields while a million men lived like animals in slimy underground trenches and from 1914 to 1918 slaughtered one another with such consistency that even on "quiet days" casualties ran into the thousands. "A Storm in Flanders" is prize-winning historian Winston Groom's compelling history of the four-year battle for Ypres. Clean. 1st Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Atlantic Monthly Pr hardcover
