Gershom Gorenberg: The End of Days. Fundamentalism and the Struggle for the Temple Mount While lately much has been made of the baneful role of Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East and elsewhere, The End of Days succeeds (in spite of itself) in shifting much of the blame from reactionary mullahs to millenarian rabbis and evangelists. The book focusses on Jerusalem's Temple Mount, where remnants of the temple of Herod compete with Muslim mosques, above all the Dome of the Rock, for the competitive and sometimes murderous attentions of their adherents. As Gorenberg, loyal Zionist that he is, cannot help demonstrating, the chief destabilizing impetuses at the Temple Mount have come from Israeli governmental meddling and from increasingly collaborative efforts of Jewish and Christian fanatics to usher in the First (or Second) Coming by rebuilding the temple of King Solomon (and incidentally razing the Arab shrines), rather than from the often furious responses of the Palestinians. A useful and available account of the fundamentalist threat posed by pro-Israel Protestants and gentile-hating Jews at one of the hottest spots on the planet. |

Antony Beevor: The Fall of Berlin 1945 Acclaimed for his vivid re-creations of some of the twentieth century's most significant battles, Antony Beevor now offers readers a gripping, street-level portrait of the harrowing days of January 1945 in Berlin when the Red Army, whipped up by atrocity propaganda, and beleaguered German and European volunteer forces clashed for a final time. The result was the most gruesome display of Soviet brutality in the war, with tanks crushing German refugee columns, mass rapes, pillage, and destruction. Hundreds of thousands of German civilians froze to death or were massacred. Making full use of newly disclosed material from former Soviet files as well as from German, American, British, French, and Swedish archives, Beevor has reconstructed the different experiences of those millions caught up in the death throes of the Third Reich. The Fall of Berlin 1945 depicts not only the brutality and desperation of a city under siege but also rare moments of extreme humanity and heroism. This account also contains new revelations about the motives behind Stalin's hurried assault: He was prepared to risk any number of his men to seize the city before the other Allies could get there. |

Don Heddesheimer: The First Holocaust. Jewish Fund Raising Campaigns with Holocaust Claims During and After World War I. 2nd edition. Six million Jews in Poland and Russia threatened with imminent holocaust: this allegation was appearing in such sources as The New York Times -- but the year was 1919! Don Heddesheimer's compact but substantive First Holocaust documents post-WWI propaganda that claimed East European Jewry was on the brink of annihilation, regularly invoking the talismanic six million figure. It gives details how that propaganda was used to agitate for minority rights for Jews in Poland, and for Zionism and Bolshevism in Poland and Russia; and demonstrates how Jewish fundraising operations in America raised vast sums in the name of feeding Polish and Russian Jews, then funneled much of the money to Zionist and Communist constructive undertakings -- including banks, unions, and kibbutzes -- rather than to starving Jews. The First Holocaust, which includes eye-opening testimony from American diplomats and military attachés stationed in Poland and Russia that contradicted Jewish persecution claims, is a valuable study of American Jewish institutional operations at a fateful juncture in Jewish and European history, an incisive examination of a cunningly contrived campaign of atrocity and extermination propaganda, two decades before the alleged WWII Holocaust -- and an indispensable addition to every revisionist's library. |

Roger Garaudy: The Founding Myths of Modern Israel In this headline-making work, a prominent French scholar delivers one powerful blow after another to the pernicious historical myths cited for decades to justify Zionist aggression and repression, including the Israeli legend of a "land without people for a people without land," and the most sacred of Jewish-Zionist icons, the Holocaust extermination story. For financial gain, as an alibi for indefensible policies, and for other reasons, Jews have used what the author calls "theological myths" to arrogate for themselves a "right of theological divine chosenness." The wartime suffering of Europe's Jews, he contends, has been elevated to the status of a secular religion, and is now treated with sacrosanct historical uniqueness. This readable, thoroughly documented study examines the brutal dispossession and mass expulsion of Palestine's Arabs, exposes the farce of the Nuremberg victors' show trial, and shows that the notorious German "final solution" term referred to a "territorial" program of resettlement, not extermination. Founding Myths details the secret collaboration of prominent Jews with the young Nazi regime, and the 1941 offer by some Zionists, including a future Israeli prime minister, to join Hitler's Germany in a military alliance against Britain. The author presents a frank assessment of the powerful Jewish-Zionist lobby in the United States, showing how it effectively controls US policy regarding Israel, and plays a crucial role in shaping American public opinion. For decades Roger Garaudy was prominent in the French Communist Party, making a name for himself as a Communist deputy in the French National Assembly, and as a leading Marxist intellectual and theoretician. Later he broke with Communism, eventually becoming a Muslim. When Founding Myths first appeared in France, it touched off a storm of controversy among intellectuals and a furious uproar in the media. Soon Garaudy was charged with violating France's notorious Gayssot law, which makes it a crime to "contest" the "crimes against humanity" as defined by the Nuremberg Tribunal of 1945-46. A Paris court found him guilty and fined him $40,000. His trial and conviction for Holocaust heresy prompted wide international support, above all from across the Arab and Muslim world. Relying on a vast range of Zionist, Soviet, American, and German source references, this well-documented study is packed with hundreds of eye-opening quotations, many by prominent Jewish scholars and personalities. Here, at last, this important work is available in a handsome, professionally edited English-language edition, with a valuable foreword by Theodore J. O'Keefe. |

Michael A. Hoffman II: The Great Holocaust Trial. The Inside Story of Ernst Zundel An informed, spirited, and often brilliant account of the 1985 "false news" trial of Ernst Zündel. That trial was the first in a series of court confrontations in which Zündel turned the tables on his accusers to subject the Holocaust to challenge, scrutiny, and withering cross-examination. Journalist and author Michael Hoffman ably evokes the excitement the 1985 trial stirred among revisionists and the notice it gained among ordinary Canadians, as Zündel and his supporters first braved attacks from Jewish mobs to enter the courtroom, and then under the superb generalship of Zündel and attorney Doug Christie entered an unprecedented quantity of revisionist evidence and testimony into the permanent record. The Great Holocaust Trial revisits the testimony of Robert Faurisson, William Lindsey, Doug Collins, Thies Christophersen, Udo Walendy, Ditlieb Felderer, and Russell Barton, and recounts in often hilarious detail the pratfalls such Holocaust "eyewitnesses" as Rudolf Vrba and Arnold Friedman took on the stand under the relentless grilling of Doug Christie. Facsimiles of contemporary newspaper stories illustrate how the first Zündel trial broke the media blackout, and numerous photos of the Zündel team document the extraordinary camaraderie that helped achieve that breakthrough and the eventual overturning of Zündel conviction under Canada's "false news" statute. An outstanding analytical narrative of a key confrontation in the development of Holocaust revisionism, The Great Holocaust Trial remains a revisionist classic twenty years after it was written. A sizable update that covers the second Zündel trial and its outcome and consequences makes this book both a bargain and an indispensable reference. |

Robert Conquest: The Great Terror: A Reassessment When it first appeared, The Great Terror was universally acclaimed as the definitive work on Stalin's purges. Edmund Wilson hailed it as "the only scrupulous, non-partisan, and adequate book on the subject", and Harrison Salisbury called it "brilliant ... not only an odyssey of madness, tragedy, and sadism, but a work of scholarship and literary craftsmanship." It later received equally high praise in the Soviet Union, where it is now considered the authority on the period. When Conquest wrote the original volume, he relied heavily on unofficial sources, but with the advent of glasnost an avalanche of new material became available. Conquest mined this enormous cache to write a substantially new edition of his classic work, with many of his most disturbing conclusions being verified under the light of fresh evidence. He added enormously to the detail, including hitherto secret information on the three great "Moscow Trials", on the fate of the executed generals, on the methods of obtaining confessions, on the purge of writers and other members of the intelligentsia, on the life in the labor camps, and many other key matters. Blending profound research with evocative prose, Conquest provides not only an authoritative account of Stalin's purges, but also a compelling and eloquent chronicle of one of the twentieth century's most tragic events. "A profound analytical investigation ... Having finished this book, no one can ever again say, 'I didn't know.' Now we all know." —Tatyana Tolstaya, The New York Times Review of Books "Stalin was not only the master criminal, he was the master concealer. It took a master detective, and a poet like Mr. Conquest, to unmask him completely." —Norman Davies, The New York Times Book Review |

Martin Allen: The Hitler/Hess Deception In May 1941, Rudolf Hess, Hitler's deputy, flew to England to negotiate a settlement. When Hess landed, he was captured and incarcerated for the rest of his life, which was ended violently in 1987. Why was Hess kept a prisoner for so many years? Allen shows that Hess's influence on party politics in Germany was guided by high moral standards and that he therefore would have been a trustworthy negotiator. Despite official denials, he flew to Britain with Hitler's full support. Allen shows that there was a substantial British peace party in 1941, which included most of the aristocracy, eager to preserve the British empire, which was doomed should the war continue. Allen finally argues that Churchill used Hess to encourage Hitler to wage war against the Soviet Union in order to keep England in the war. |

Arthur R. Butz: The Hoax of the Twentieth Century. The Case Against the Presumed Extermination of European Jewry The first book to treat the central questions of the Holocaust allegation -- the evidence for a German extermination program, for mass killings by poison gas, and for the deaths of some six million Jews -- with academic rigor, The Hoax of the Twentieth Century created Holocaust revisionism as a discipline with its appearance in 1976. Few professional historians could have devised the brilliant investigative strategy that is central to The Hoax: author Arthur Butz's focus on the information long available to the Allies on the operations of Auschwitz, a strategically important petrochemical center (Butz correctly surmised the existence of U.S. aerial photos of the camp years before it was admitted). The Hoax's several chapters on the question of Allied knowledge of Auschwitz have busied orthodox experts for nearly three decades with trying to explain how mass operations seem to have gone unnoticed for several years -- to no avail. The Hoax remains at the center of the revisionist inquiry, valuable even in those few areas in which it has been superseded by subsequent revisionist research: a book that, especially in this handsome new design and printing, needs to be read, and re-read, then read again, by every serious revisionist. This new edition comes with several supplements adding new information gathered by the author over the last 25 years. |

Norman G. Finkelstein: The Holocaust Industry. Reflexions on the Exploitation of Jewish Suffering Jews lie and exaggerate about their sufferings during the Holocaust in order to attain an unassailable image as victims, which they then use as a shield against any attempt to criticize them, with the goal of gaining unlimited political and cultural influence and of extorting billions of dollars from nations all over the world.' This summarizes, in a somewhat unsubtle way, the content of this perhaps most provocative book ever written by a Jewish scholar. The establishment's reaction has been swift: Prof. Finkelstein lost his job as a lecturer at New York's City College, was unable to find another teaching position in New York, and faces law suits by Jewish groups in Europe for incitement to hatred (the truth is hatred for those who hate the truth!). This book, the definitive exposé of the Holocaust racket by the son of concentration camp survivors, is a must read for everybody who desires or needs to learn' in a detailed, knowledgeable account of the abuse of the so-called 'Holocaust' for political and financial gain. The perfect introduction to an understanding of why the 'Holocaust' propaganda is so important and indispensable to the organized Jewish interest, and to why its critical analysis -- called revisionism -- should by of primary importance to the rest of the world. |

Robert Lenski: The Holocaust on Trial. The Case of Ernst Zundel A superb account of the second Zündel trial that focuses squarely on the dramatic courtroom testimony of the world's leading revisionists. The Holocaust on Trial lays out the meat of what Robert Faurisson, Fred Leuchter, David Irving, Mark Weber, and a score of other witnesses told the court on the evidence against homicidal gassings, on the actual performance of the crematoria, on the number of Jews who likely died in the war, on actual German policy, and the missing Hitler order. Learn how the revisionist scholars, experts, and activists such as Bradley Smith defended their testimony under withering cross-examination from Canadian prosecutors carefully coached by exterminationist authorities and read how the exterminationist scholars fared at the hands of Doug Christie. The Holocaust on Trial is the book on the legendary legal joust that resulted in the Leuchter Report (and thus all that the Auschwitz forensic studies that have followed), the eventual overturning of the "false news" statute, under which Zündel was convicted, and the vast infusion of energy and confidence into the revisionist movement that followed. An entertaining as well as a valuable book, full of unique photographs, for everyone who is interested in the advance of Holocaust revisionism and the career of its Canadian martyr, Ernst Zündel. |

Michael Hoffman, Moshe Lieberman: The Israeli Holocaust against the Palestinians Israel has made crystal clear that it will not even accept a Palestinian homeland. It seems as if Israel is gearing up to "transfer" (i.e., expel) the bulk of the Palestinians: since September 2000 Israeli troops and police have violated Muslim shrines, invaded Palestinian territory, shot down youthful demonstrators, shelled, rocketed, and machine-gunned civilian settlements with U.S.-provided ordnance, cold-bloodedly murdered suspected adversaries and civilian bystanders alike, hauled off thousands of Palestinians to concentration camps, where many of them have been tortured, taken hostages for use as human shields during their forays into Palestinian towns, blown up or bulldozed the homes of relatives of alleged guerrillas in a Sippenhaft policy reminiscent of the latter days of the Third Reich, and destroyed as much of the Palestinians' economy as has seemed practical. Israel's treatment of the Palestinians is being so totally concealed by America's media that most Americans remain fixated on the sporadic Palestinian terror attacks against Israelis rather than the far bloodier policies that provoke them. Michael Hoffman, a seasoned journalist, and Moshe Lieberman, a researcher for the late Israeli dissident Israel Shahak, go a good way toward setting the record straight in The Israeli Holocaust against the Palestinians. Part compilation of previously published reports by objective journalists from around the world, part sharp and sometimes impassioned analysis, and part historical background, the book provides compelling and graphic evidence in pictures and print of the ongoing atrocity of Israeli policy toward the Palestinians. |

Robert Wilton: The Last Days of the Romanovs: How Tsar Nicholas II and Russia's Imperial Family Were Murdered Robert Wilton's study of the grisly murders of Tsar Nicholas II and his family by Jewish Bolsheviks in a cellar in Ekaterinburg, Siberia, July 16-17, 1918, is still the most riveting account of a crime that, in its brutal slaughter of the saintly Nicholas, his consort Alexandra, their five young children, court physician, and three loyal servants foreshadowed the horrors of Communism in grisly detail. Wilton, a seasoned journalist who covered Russia for the London Times from 1902 to 1919, reached Ekaterinburg just days after the murders and was the first Western correspondent privy to the investigation conducted by anti-Communist Russian authorities. While Wilton lacked access to contemporary Bolshevik documents, the opening of the Soviet archives in the 1990s has only confirmed his assignment of responsibility to Lenin and his Jewish henchman, Yakov Sverdlov. The Last Days of the Romanovs remains the classic unraveling of a murder mystery without parallel; this edition includes the famous lists of Soviet commissars that documented the prevalence of Jews among the original Bolsheviks, a warning ignored in the democratic West until Solzhenitsyn's writings. |

Fred A. Leuchter, Robert Faurisson, Germar Rudolf: The Leuchter Reports. Critical Edition The "Holocaust" is often characterized as the greatest crime in the history of mankind. Yet for 44 years not a single forensic investigation into this alleged crime was ever undertaken. This changed in 1988, when Fred A. Leuchter, the American expert for execution technologies, was asked by German-Canadian Ernst Zndel to go to Poland and investigate the facilities in the Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Majdanek camps, which are claimed to have served as chemical slaughterhouses for hundreds of thousands of victims -- also called "gas chambers." Leuchter changed the course of history when he concluded in his report: "There were no execution gas chambers at any of these locations." Subsequently, Fred Leuchter also went to other camps, where mass murder with poison gas is claimed to have happened (Dachau, Mauthausen, Hartheim). He then wrote a similarly devastating report, which concluded "that there were no gas execution chambers at any of these locations." This study was accompanied by an annotated bibliography about the claims regarding these three alleged locations of mass murder compiled by Dr. Faurisson. In a third expert report, Fred Leuchter described in detail the technique of execution gas chambers as used in the U.S. for capital punishment and juxtaposed it with claims about alleged Third Reich gassings. In a fourth report, Leuchter criticized a book on "gas chambers" written by French scholar J.-C. Pressac. This edition publishes all these reports in one volume and subjects the first of them, which has caused a huge controversy and triggered a landslide of new research, to a thorough critique, backing up Leuchter's claims with more information and references, where he is right, and correcting him, where he erred. |

James J. Martin: The Man Who Invented 'Genocide': The Public Career and Consequences of Raphael Lemkin The Man Who Invented Genocide is more than a study of the life and chameleon-like career of Raphael Lemkin, the Polish-Jewish lawyer who coined the term "genocide" in his 1944 book Axis Rule in Occupied Europe. The late, outstanding revisionist historian James J. Martin explores the legal, political, and propaganda meaning of genocide and traces how anti-Western forces have made that questionable concept part of history and law from the Nuremberg trials to the present day. Martin describes the enactment of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention and the international Genocide Treaty of 1951 (ratified by the U.S. in 1988), and accurately foretells how the growing employment of "genocide" and related notions (e.g., "hate crime") would come to threaten our liberties while exacerbating, not reducing, inter-group tensions. Lending extraordinary value to The Man Who Invented Genocide is a brilliant, wide-ranging chapter debunking the Holocaust allegations of the Second World War -- arguably Martin's most important contribution to Holocaust revisionism. |

Nachman Ben-Yehuda: The Masada Myth. Collective Memory and Mythmaking in Israel In 73 A.D., legend has it, 960 Jewish rebels under siege in the ancient desert fortress of Masada committed suicide rather than surrender to a Roman legion. Recorded in only one historical source, the story of Masada was obscure for centuries. In The Masada Myth, Israeli sociologist Nachman Ben-Yehuda tracks the process, by which Masada became an ideological symbol for the State of Israel, the dramatic subject of movies and miniseries, a shrine venerated by generations of Zionists and Israeli soldiers, and the most profitable tourist attraction in modern Israel. Ben-Yehuda describes how, after nearly 1,800 years, the long, complex, and unsubstantiated narrative of Josephus Flavius was edited and augmented in the twentieth century to form a simple and powerful myth of heroism. He looks at the ways this new mythical narrative of Masada was created, promoted, and maintained by pre-state Jewish underground organizations, the Israeli army, archaeological teams, mass media, youth movements, textbooks, the tourist industry, and the arts. He discusses the various organizations and movements that created the Masada experience (usually a ritual trek through the Judean desert followed by a climb to the fortress and a dramatic reading of the Masada story), and how it changed over decades from a Zionist pilgrimage to a tourist destination. Placing the story in a larger historical, sociological, and psychological context, Ben-Yehuda draws upon theories of collective memory and mythmaking to analyze Masada's crucial role in the nation-building process of modern Israel and the formation of a new Jewish identity. An expert on deviance and social control, Ben-Yehuda looks in particular at how and why a military failure and an enigmatic, troubling case of mass suicide (in conflict with Judaism's teachings) were reconstructed and fabricated as a heroic tale. |

A.H.M. Ramsay: The Nameless War A spirited examination of the Jewish role in the 17th century British, 18th century French, and 20th century Bolshevik revolutions, and its culmination in the triumph of Communism and Zionism in Europe and Asia, by a Scotsman whose temerity in opposing the hidden enemies of England and Europe resulted in his arrest without charges and four-year imprisonment while a sitting member of Parliament during the Second World War. One of his country's elite, Captain Ramsay graduated from Eton and Sandhurst and was wounded on the Western Front while serving with the Coldstream Guards in World War I, before serving for fifteen years in Parliament. This short but comprehensive book, a few details of which have been superseded by subsequent research, traces the rise of Jewish influence in Europe from the Middle Ages to the 1950s, and includes inside information on how Jewish interests in America helped force Britain, then lure America, into war against Germany: Cpt. Ramsay was a friend of American code clerk Tyler Kent, who revealed secret details of Roosevelt's maneuverings, as well as of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. The Nameless War includes valuable appendices on England's medieval Jewish legislation, the opinions of great men from Mohammed to Napoleon on the Jews, and other useful historical knowledge. |

Thomas Fleming: The New Dealer's War. FDR and the War within World War II Acclaimed historian Thomas Fleming brings to life a flawed and troubled FDR struggling to manage World War II. Starting with the leak to the press of Roosevelt's plan to invade Europe prior to Pearl Harbor, then spiraling back to FDR's various attempts to lure Japan into an attack on the U.S. Fleet in the Pacific, Fleming takes the reader on a journey through the fractious struggles and debates that went on in Washington, the nation, and the world as the New Dealers strove to drive the US into a war. In bold contrast to the familiar and idealized FDR of other biographies, Fleming's Roosevelt is a man in remorseless decline, battered by ideological forces and primitive hatreds, failing to understand that some of them would lead to unimaginable catastrophes. Among FDR's most dismaying policies, Fleming argues, is his insistence on "unconditional surrender" for Germany (prolonging the war by as much as two years and leaving millions more dead) and his often-uncritical embrace of Stalin and the Soviets as allies. The New Dealers' War forces readers to rethink what they think they know about a pivotal event in American's past. |

Niall Ferguson: The Pity of War. Explaining World War I Niall Ferguson, a distinguished Oxford scholar, makes a simple and provocative argument: that the human atrocity known as the Great War (WWI) was entirely England's fault. Ferguson proves that Germany had a justifiable fear of Russian and French militarism and was merely making a preemptive strike against France after having been attacked by France's ally Russia in August 1914. Britain's entry into the war transformed a continental conflict into a world war, which the English then badly mishandled, necessitating American involvement. Ferguson argues that, had Britain sacrificed Belgium to Germany, the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution would never have happened. Germany, he continues, would have created a united European state, and Britain could have remained a superpower. The war was not inevitable, Ferguson argues, but rather the result of the mistaken decisions of individuals who would later claim to have been in the grip of huge impersonal forces. |

Paul Rassinier: The Real Eichmann Trial, or the Incorrigible Victors Paul Rassinier, a French leftist held in more than one German concentration camp for his role in his country's WWII resistance, exposed the 1961 trial of Gestapo functionary Adolf Eichmann as sham and show as early as 1962, when the first edition of this book was published. The Real Eichmann Trial provides a searching account of the trial in Jerusalem: how that trial inflated the significance of Eichmann's role in the German Jewish policy to make Israeli propaganda; how the trial skirted the touchy subjects of wartime Nazi-Zionist cooperation, including favoritism for wealthy Zionists; and how the kidnapping and show trial of Eichmann violated every norm of due process. This edition of The Real Eichmann Trial includes a subsequent chapter on the Frankfurt Auschwitz trial of the mid-1960s, with a point-by-point refutation of the Holocaust charges presented by the German state prosecution. A lively, informed challenge to the Eichmann hysteria from the pen of the scholar generally recognized as the father of Holocaust revisionism. |

Floyd Gibbons: The Red Knight of Germany. The Story of Baron von Richthofen The "Red Baron" has become an enduring and popular symbol—from mass media ad campaigns to comic strips—of the devil-may-care aerial gallantry which ruled the skies of the Great War. This despite the roots of the real Red Baron, Freiherr Manfred von Richthofen, in the proud German Junker class, the enemy Americans learned to "love to hate" during and after the war. Who was this legend really, and how did he—not Rickenbacker or Guynemer, Hawker or McCudden—become the deathless embodiment of the fighter ace of the First World War? Floyd Gibbons' classic biography, first published only nine years after the guns fell silent, reveals the man—flesh and blood, heart and soul—behind the myth. Working form original documents, including letters and journals entrusted to him by von Richthofen's mother, Gibbons recreates, through the pen of the Red Baron, how it must have been in the dogfights above the trenches, on the ground in the desperate, nonchalant camaraderie of men whose every flight might be their last, and in the highest councils of the German state and military. The Red Knight of Germany itemizes and documents every mission, every victory, of this prodigy of aerial combat, in matchless writing worthy of its mighty hero. Who was the Red Baron? Read this book and know: "He shot down eighty fighting planes. He matched his life against that of any man. He fought, not with hate, but with love for fighting. It was his joy, his sport, his passion. To him to dare and to die was to live ..." "He won the admiration and respect of his enemies. His instinct and duty it was to kill them, he did ..." "Wounded and decorated, he became the guest of kings and queens. Boys and the youth of a nation made him their idol, cheered him, followed him on the street." "He was young and blond, shy and handsome, proud and serious. Girls by the thousands worshipped his picture and filled his mail with letters by the sackful. One of them he loved. He wanted to make her his wife but he did not want to make her his widow. He knew he was going to be killed." "In one of the greatest air battles in the history of the world, he went down, still fighting, still killing. He died a national hero at the head of the fighting men in the service of his country. He was buried by his enemies with respect and military honors in unstinted recognition of his great courage, his sportsmanship, and his tireless, relentless spirit." "His name was Manfred von Richthofen." |
