Item No. 129:
Lawrence Dennis, Maximilian St. George: A Trial on Trial: The Great Sedition Trial of 1944

A scintillating account of the Roosevelt administration's attempt to stamp out patriotic dissent during the Second World War by one of the defendants, the extraordinary American political and economic thinker Lawrence Dennis. The 1944 sedition trial, through the prosecution's reliance on guilt by association, conspiracy charges, and attempts to criminalize possession of dissenting literature, foreshadowed today's Patriot Act and other efforts to conflate opposition with treason. Fortunately for history, and for friends of America's constitutional liberties, FDR's dragnet swept up Dennis, Harvard graduate and disillusioned former diplomat and international banker (whose postwar writing would be covertly supported by Joseph P. Kennedy), as well as such WWII dissidents as Elizabeth Dilling, George Sylvester Viereck, and William Dudley Pelley. The brilliant Dennis -- on trial for criticizing the New Deal in such works as The Coming American Fascism -- ably recounts the trial (including his own sardonic testimony), its outcome, its meaning for America's future. Today's threats to infringe our freedoms under the guise of fighting "error" make A Trial on Trial as relevant now as the day it was published.

F.J.P. Veale: Advance to Barbarism. The Development of Total Warfare from Sarajevo to Hiroshima

Classic study of how "humanitarian" hypocrisy has made Western warfare more murderous for noncombatants than at any time since the Thirty Years War -- despite the treaties, conventions, and rules of warfare that have multiplied over the past century and a half. A.J.P. Veale, a British jurist with a rare grasp of military history and an even rarer lucidity of prose, establishes how "good wars" -- beginning with the American Civil War, followed by the First World War (and especially its aftermath), and culminating in the Second -- have tended to become crusades against "evil," in which the laws and usages of war have been jettisoned in favor of slaughtering a diabolized enemy, civilians and all. Veale's account ranges over Sherman's March to the Sea, the Allied bombing campaign against Germany, the reversal whereby regular armies were deprived of their moral right to crush lawless guerrillas, the role of atrocity propaganda, and very much more. Advance to Barbarism's detail and probing philosophical insight make it stimulating, thought-provoking reading in the time of "weapons of mass destruction," "shock and awe," Falluja, Najaf, and Abu Ghraib.

William H. Chamberlin: America's Second Crusade

Award-winning journalist and historian of the Russian Revolution takes an early, critical look at the consequences of America's bent for self-righteous moralizing during and after World War II. A very useful survey from a resolutely American standpoint, although evidence unavailable to Chamberlin has since revealed corruption and criminality among America's war leadership undreamed of by the author.

Item No. 198:
John Sack: An Eye for an Eye. The Story of Jews Who Sought Revenge for the Holocaust

THE BOOK THEY CAN'T SUPPRESS
Not for sixty years has a book been so brutally (and, in the end, unsuccessfully) suppressed as An Eye for an Eye. One major newspaper, one major magazine, and three major publishers paid $40,000 for it but were scared off. One printed 6,ooo books, then pulped them.
Two dozen publishers read An Eye for an Eye and praised it. "Shocking," "Startling," "Astonishing," "Mesmerizing," "Extraordinary," they wrote to author John Sack. "I was riveted," "I was bowled over," "I love it," they wrote, but all two dozen rejected it. Finally, BasicBooks published An Eye for an Eye. It "sparked a furious controversy," said Newsweek. It became a best-seller in Europe but was so shunned in America that it also became, in the words of New York, "The Book They Dare Not Review."
Since then, both 60 Minutes and The New York Times have corroborated what Sack wrote: that at the end of World War II, thousands of Jews sought revenge for the Holocaust. They set up 1,255 concentration camps for German civilians -- German men, women, children and babies. There they beat, whipped, tortured and murdered the Germans.
"The events are vivid, the language is powerful, the conclusions appear just. The book should be read and become part of the all too gruesome document the world calls history," the New York Daily News.

Greg Robinson: By Order of the President! FDR and the Internment of Japanese Americans

The question of American responsibility for the wartime internment of Japanese-American citizens has long been debated, but until this recent book there has been a significant lacuna in the discussion: the role of President F.D. Roosevelt. Greg Robinson, assistant professor of history at the University of Quebec at Montreal, marshals FDR's writings and correspondence as well as internal government documents to show that Roosevelt played a central role in planning and executing this unsavory national episode in (temporary) ethnic cleansing. An excellent demolition of decades of establishment spin-doctoring and a solid contribution to the ongoing revision of the history of the Good War.

Item No. 161:
James Bacque: Crimes & Mercies. The Fate of German Civilians Under Allied Occupation, 1944-1950

This book focuses largely on the grim, post-war fate of 60 million German civilians. But it is probably on page 131 that we find the epicenter of the book, and its seismic thesis; it is here, in a little, statistical chart, that Bacque's findings may be seen in a single glance.
TOTALS OF DEATHS
MinimumMaximum
Expellees (1945-50)2,100,0006,000,000
Prisoners (1941-50)1,500,0002,000,000
Residents (1946-50)5,700,0005,700,000
----------------
Totals9,300,00013,700,000
"Expellees" refers to the 16,000,000 ethnic Germans who were brutally driven from their ancestral homelands in East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Czechia, Yugoslavia, and elsewhere in Europe, at war's end.
"Prisoners" are German POWs as well as person in "automatic arrest" or those deported for slave labor, the subject of Bacque's first book Other Losses. "Residents" here refers to the German civilian population that survived the Second World War.
"These deaths have never been honestly reported by either the Allies or the German government," Bacque says, and he exposes the Allies' motives: the unabashed inhumanity of the Allied leadership, the worst being U.S. Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, Jr., who hatched the serpent's egg: the vicious, vengeful Morgenthau Plan for the post-war reduction of the German population down to some 20 million. Devised, "cancelled," then implemented via the punitive directive JCS/1067, the Morgenthau Plan wreaked havoc on Germany and Europe in general.
By starkest contrast, the hero of the book -- and to whom it is dedicated -- is Herbert Hoover. It was Hoover who lobbied for a food program also to the relief of Germany, which put an end to the Morgenthau nightmare and rescued literally millions of people from a slow, agonizing death. Bacque also shines a hard light on the Western media for concealing or outrightly denying the Allies' complicity in numerous atrocities.

Item No. 157:
Robert B. Stinnett: Day of Deceit. The Truth about FDR and Pearl Harbor

It was not long after the first Japanese bombs fell on the American naval ships at Pearl Harbor that conspiracy theories began to circulate, charging that Franklin Roosevelt and his chief military advisors knew of the impending attack well in advance. Robert Stinnett, who served in the U.S. Navy with distinction during World War II, examines recently declassified American documents and concludes that, far more than merely knowing of the Japanese plan to bomb Pearl Harbor, Roosevelt deliberately steered Japan into war with America.
Stinnett's argument draws on both circumstantial evidence -- the fact, for example, that in September 1940 Roosevelt signed into law a measure providing for a two-ocean navy that would number 100 aircraft carriers -- and, more importantly, on American governmental documents that offer apparently incontrovertible proof that Roosevelt knowingly sacrificed American lives in order to enter the war on the side of England. Although obviously troubled by his discovery of a systematic plan of deception on the part of the American government, Stinnett does not take deep issue with its outcome. Roosevelt, he writes, faced powerful opposition from isolationist forces, and, against them, the Pearl Harbor attack was something that had to be endured in order to stop what Roosevelt considered a greater evil -- the Germans in Europe who were poised to invade England. Sure to excite discussion, Stinnett's book offers what may be the final word on the terrible matter of Pearl Harbor.

Masao Shiotsuki: Doctor at Nagasaki. 'My First Assignment was Merci Killing'

In wartime Japan, an idealistic young intern fresh from medical school is assigned to the very hospital, to which many of the victims of the atomic bombing of Nagasaki are brought. In part one of this book, he relates the deeply moving accounts of himself, of victims, and of colleagues about the hellish days and weeks that followed, as he and his colleagues struggled to help their patients survive. Part two consists of essays written after the war, as the author continues his struggle in awakening the medical community and the world at large to the terrible and incurable effects of the atomic bomb.

Lynn Picknett, Clive Prince, Stephen Prior: Double Standards: The Rudolf Hess Cover-up

A thorough collection of the evidence indicating that Rudolf Hess flew to Britain with a substantial peace offer by Germany's government, including Hitler. The authors do not only describe in meticulous detail all the stations of Hess preparation for his flight and his subsequent ordeal, but they also point out the tremendous suffering resulting from Britain's refusal to accept any peace offer, plus an outline of what could have happened if Britain would have accepted such an offer -- the salvage of Europe.

Item No. 152:
John Christgau: Enemies: World War II Alien Internment

They were called aliens and enemies. But the World War II internees John Christgau writes about are shown to be ordinary people victimized by the politics of a global war. The Enemy Alien Internment Program in America was born with the United States' declaration of war on Japan, Germany, and Italy, and lasted until 1946. In all, 31,275 enemy aliens were imprisoned in camps like the one described in this book -- Ft. Lincoln, just south of Bismarck, North Dakota.
In animated and suspenseful prose, Christgau tells the stories of several individual who were representative of the internee experience at Ft. Lincoln. The subjects' lives before and after capture -- presented in case studies -- tell of encroaching bitterness and sorrow.
Christgau bases his reporting of events on voluminous and previously untouched National Archives and FBI documents in addition to letters, diaries, and interviews with his subjects. His captivating approach to unveiling the inside story of a unique episode in American history will rivet your attention from beginning to end.

Item No. 203:
Hamilton Fish: FDR. The Other Side of the Coin

Hamilton Fish was one of those few former members of Congress who participated actively in the consideration of the early New Deal measures and in the dramatic pre-war debates of 1939-1941. His political experience included three years in the New York State Assembly and 25 years in Congress, 10 as ranking minority member of the Foreign Affairs Committee and four in the same capacity on the Rules Committee. His firsthand experience places him in a unique position to write the history of our still almost-unknown involvement in WWII.
The early chapters of FDR: The Other Side of the Coin deal with the president's clandestine diplomatic negotiations in the dangerous months before American intervention in World War II: in the Danzig Crisis, with which Mr. Fish was deeply involved; the war ultimatum to Japan, kept secret even from Congress; and the unpublicized communications with Ambassador Bullitt and British leaders.
Mr. Fish felt that had FDR listened to public opinion, overwhelmingly against American intervention in every poll, Hitler would have attacked Soviet Russia. not Britain and France. He documents how FDR refused every prewar peace concession the Japanese offered, and later refused peace initiatives from the head of the German Secret Service -- at a staggering cost in American lives and the lives of those in Nazi concentration camps.
In his analysis of the geopolitical effects of the Yalta agreements, Mr. Fish traces the causes and roots of the Korean and Vietnamese wars to the territorial concessions given the communists at Yalta. The reader will also note disturbing parallels between the political steps which led to our involvement in World War II and those that preceded the Vietnamese debacle.
Above all, this provocative book is a plea for a return to the constitutional government envisioned by our Founding Fathers, with Congress having the sole right and power to declare war. Mr. Fish consistently demonstrated that he trusted and had faith in the American people in both war and peace, and insisted that no president -- Republican or Democrat -- has the legal right to involve the United States in war by trickery in defiance of the Congress or the will of the American people, and of the Constitution of the United States.

Stephen G. Fritz: Frontsoldaten: The German Soldier in World War II

German soldiers in WWII were feared for their efficiency and ruthlessness, but Stephen Fritz's Frontsoldaten, based on the letters, diaries, and memoirs of the men of the Wehrmacht, offers a deeper, nuanced portrait of these heroic soldiers. Fritz contrasts the German Landers with their Allied counterparts to show that the German army relied heavily on camaraderie and individual initiative ? making the Allied troops seem more the mindlessly obedient robots of stereotype; while the superior German educational system produced rank-and-file soldiers who had a firm grasp of history. Frontsoldaten offers concrete evidence from the most unguarded revelations of Germany's WWII combat troops that the "social revolution" promised and carried out by Hitler motivated millions of young men to risk death in order to create a new world, free of class barriers and full of national solidarity.

Item No. 83:
William E. Winterstein: Gestapo USA. When Justice was Blindfolded

Few chronicles of injustice recount a more enormous breach of faith than Gestapo USA: that of the U.S. government with Arthur Rudolph, a German rocket engineer brought to this country after World War II who played a key role in the program that enabled his adopted country to land on the moon in 1969. Gestapo USA tells the story of how, long after Rudolph had been cleared of any wrongdoing for his wartime role in supervising forced laborers manufacturing V2 missiles, he was stalked, ambushed, and driven from the United States by lawyers working for the Office of Special Investigations. Author William Winterstein, a retired U.S. Army officer whose duties included investigating Rudolph's WWII record, details how the OSI was founded and evolved as an implacable tribunal empowered to hound Americans who served on the wrong side in the World War II. Winterstein shows how OSI lawyers Neal Sher (recently disbarred for misappropriating funds earmarked for Holocaust survivors) and Eli Rosenbaum manipulated intimidated Rudolph into surrendering his citizenship and leaving America, thanks to OSI regulations that place the burden of proof on the suspect, and make mere membership in proscribed organizations grounds for deportation. Gestapo USA is also the passionate story of how its author continued to fight for justice for Arthur Rudolph long after he was deported. An infuriating but enlightening account of an ongoing affront to justice and decency.

Item No. 197:
Arthur Goddard: Harry Elmer Barnes -- Learned Crusader. The New History in Action.

This is the affectionate tribute and commentary by an assemblage of students, literary and academic colleagues and old friends with a substantial debt to a memorable influence upon their lives, Harry Elmer Barnes. It is no traditional festschrift, wherein a long-respected scholar is honored by a symposium consisting of the efforts of a group of favorite graduate students. There is everything here, from documented essays to kindly and mellow memoirs, all dealing with significant aspects of one of the truly unique influences in the lit¬erary, intellectual and academic world of the last half century.
In the field of testimonial vol¬umes there is nothing quite like it. There are estimates and appraisals ranging from nostalgic recollections by boyhood friends to technical studies by men of immense repute in several fields of scholarship from two generations of college and uni¬versity life. There is a varied group of analyses by professional associ¬ates in a number of areas of enterprise and admiring and respectful impressions of Barnes by some of his students over a span of thirty years. The entire effort is il¬lustrated by a portfolio of photo¬graphs selected from a voluminous collection assembled over the years by the subject of the tribute, who has been characterized variously over the years as he learned "crusader," "the last of the universal scholars," and "the grand monarch of the anti-liars of the twentieth century."
The subjects covered and the personalities mentioned make this one of the most valuable insights into many of the controversies and contests of this century, centered around the figure of one of those personally involved in most of them.
This is not a book which is in¬tended to be read from end to end at a single sitting, but one to be dipped into from time to time at various places, which tends to make its scope even more impres¬sive. It will above all emphasize the achievements of an indefatig¬able, erudite and many-sided man.Half a century ago Harry Elmer Barnes was already an original thinker beginning to be listened to. All through the twenties he was influential in helping shape the intellectual revolution then taking place. Through all the years since he has been active as scholar and teacher. It is good to have in this volume some account of his multiform activities.
Joseph Wood Krutch
In a day of ever growing specialization, Barnes has stood out as a master who has made the whole field of social science his own.
Leslie A. White
Dr. Barnes is one of the most distinguished thinkers in the history of American social thought. The present volume brings to the attention of a new generation his acute analyses of the problems which are still with us, and it includes a full account of the career of the author of the most notable series of books in the field in modern times.
Huntington Cairns
Anyone familiar with the Barnes bibliography must have wondered how any one person in any age of increasing specialization could command such encyclopedic knowledge in a wide range of fields. A partial answer is found in his vast reading.
Merle Curti
His encouragement to his colleagues to engage in productive scholarship, and his efforts to find publishers for their work, resulted in an intellectual awakening which, in my opinion, brought Smith College to the highest point of intellectual activity in its history.
Harold U. Faulkner
From the variety and extent of his contacts and the scope of his scholarly achievements Harry Elmer Barnes can qualify as a true renaissance man. In that respect he is in a unique category as being one of the few men I have ever known who is intellectually equipped to go into any century.

Bryan Mark Rigg: Hitler's Jewish Soldiers

Contrary to conventional views, Rigg reveals that during WWII a startlingly large number of individuals, who were classified by Germany's government as Jews or "partial-Jews" (Mischlinge), served loyally in the German army. Rigg demonstrates that the actual number was much higher than previously thought -- perhaps as many as 150,000 men, including decorated veterans and high- ranking officers, even generals and admirals.
As Rigg fully documents for the first time, a great many of these men did not consider themselves Jewish and had embraced the military as a way of life and as devoted patriots eager to serve a revived German nation. In turn, they had been embraced by the Wehrmacht, which made many exemptions from the National Socialist racial laws for them and their relatives. (Hitler's own signature can be found on many of these "exemption" orders.)
Rigg's thorough study breaks truly new ground and shows the yet unknown ideological flexibility of Hitler's rule.

Percy Ernst Schramm: Hitler: The Man & the Military Leader

Percy Ernst Schramm, one of Germany's most distinguished historians, had exceptional access to Adolf Hitler because from January 1943 to the end of the war he was the Führer's official war diarist. This classic volume, long out of print, contains the introductions written by Schramm to critical editions of Hitler's Table Talk and the official War Diary of the High Command of the Wehrmacht. In addition, there are two appendices: the first consisting of excerpts from a study composed by Schramm for the Nuremberg Trials on relations between Hitler and the General Staff, the second a memorandum written by General Jodl in 1946 on Hitler's military leadership.

"His insights into Hitler's personality and character were not only remarkable, they are enduring." —JOHN LUKACS, The Hitler of History

"Hero, genius or madman? It hardly matters. But Schramm ... has helped us to understand something of 'the seductive malevolence of the most devious and baleful man in German history'." —MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS

"These two essays ... are not only documents of great historical importance ... but also immense psychological fascination." —HIBERNIA

"A sober and convincing assessment." —JEWISH CHRONICLE

Richard Steigmann-Gall: Holy Reich. Nazi Conceptions of Christianity, 1919-1945

Most studies of National Socialism represent the movement's membership and ideology as anti-Christian, if not pagan, but this scholarly study demonstrates that Christianity played a powerful role in the thoughts and actions of such leading National Socialists as Erich Koch (Gauleiter of East Prussia) and Wilhelm Kube (Gauleiter of Brandenburg), both of who played active roles in both the party and the church, and many others.
While the tendency of recent (tendentious) works has been to seek to establish close links between the Vatican and the Reich Chancellery, Steigmann-Gall argues for a stronger connection between National Socialism and German Protestantism, above all its liberal wing. A provocative work on NS ideology and Christian faith with implications that go well beyond its formal argument.

Nick Cook: Hunt for Zero Point

Nick Cook is editor of the air weapons section of the world famous military magazine Jane's Defense Weekly. As such he is considered one of the world's foremost media experts in the area of military aeronautics. After many years of research into secret weapon projects of various companies in several nations, he summarized his findings in this most astounding book: It offers nothing short of an exciting theory to explain the rumors about flying saucers and secret research in connection with the infamous "Area 51." Cook tracked down some of the scientists and technicians who have worked on the most exotic technologies, from zero point energy to anti-gravity, in recent decades. He has also traced the historical roots of that research and found them to have been in Third Reich Germany during the Second World War. Cook suggests that those rumors about "Nazi flying saucers" might not be totally wrong after all, even though he sees flying saucers appearing today as the results of ongoing efforts to merely reproduce what German scientist achieved more than 60 years ago.

Gottlob Herbert Bidermann: In Deadly Combat: A German Soldier's Memoir of the Eastern Front

In the hell that was World War II, the Eastern Front was its heart of fire and ice. Gottlob Bidermann served in that lethal theater from 1941 to 1945, and his memoir of those years vividly recaptures his grueling experiences with an army marching on the road to ruin.
A riveting and reflective account by one of the millions of anonymous soldiers who fought and died in that cruel terrain, In Deadly Combat conveys the brutality and horrors of the Eastern Front in detail never before available in English.
Wounded five times and awarded numerous decorations for valor, Bidermann saw action in the Crimea and siege of Sebastopol, participated in the vicious battles in the forests south of Leningrad, and ended the war trapped in the Courland Pocket. He shares his impressions of countless Russian POWs seen at the outset of his service, of peasants struggling to survive the hostilities while caught between two ruthless antagonists, and of corpses littering the landscape. He recalls a Christmas gift of gingerbread from home that overcame the stench of battle, an Easter celebrated with a basket of Russian hand grenades for eggs, and his miraculous survival of machine gun fire at close range. In closing he relives the humiliation of surrender to an enemy whom the Germans had once derided and offers a sobering glimpse into life in the Soviet gulags.
Bidermann's account also debunks the myth of a highly mechanized German army that rolled over weaker opponents with impunity. Despite the vast expanses of territory captured by the Germans during the early months of Operation Barbarossa, the war with Russia remained tenuous and unforgiving.
Translator Derek Zumbro has rendered Bidermann's memoir into a compelling narrative that retains the author's powerful style. This English language edition of Bidermann's dynamic story is based upon a privately published memoir.

Item No. 144:
Joseph Halow: Innocent at Dachau. Court Reporter at the Dachau War Crimes Trial

A rare, and historically valuable, account of American war crimes trials in postwar Germany, Joseph Halow's Innocent at Dachau is both a memoir by an American participant and the author's stocktaking, based on the trial transcripts, forty years later. Young Joe Halow was just a teenager when he volunteered to travel to Germany to serve as a court reporter in Dachau, where U.S. forces were conducting court martials of a variety of concentration camp officers, guards, kapos, and other defendants, including German civilians who had attacked and killed downed American pilots. Halow traces his own growth from an at best disinterested observer to a man deeply disturbed at the injustices meted out by the victors, in trials in which perjury was tolerated, if not suborned, among the former inmates, and political considerations trumped nearly every claim of equity. The transcripts and additional trial records which Halow ferreted out of the National Archives in the 1980s fully justify his misgivings during the trial, and amplify the sorry record of postwar victors' justice in Germany. Also valuable for Halow's impressions of everyday life in a Germany still economically as well as politically prostrate under Allied vengeance and misrule, Innocent at Dachau has been blacklisted in contemporary Germany.
