A thinking book about what is history, is it a science or is it always biased, with a focus on the Holocaust.
This is a fact-based crushing of the Holocaust denial, or "revisionist" movement, and a lively look at some of the more infamous proponents of that movement, such as David Irving and Ernst Zundel. More than that, however, it's an examination of what history is, whether objective truth is even possible and why it's important. When I read this book, it's like my brain is lifting weights. Better yet, the book itself is readable, fast-paced and even has its moments of humor.
An excellent overview and refutation of the most popular theories of Holocaust deniers.

“The Protocols” book, if you read it, barely makes any sense, it is not realistic in the least, the points are contradictory, they are foaming with rage about most everything, despite the point being to create a conspiratorial scheme to terrify the reader.
The book here reviewed explains how the original “Protocols” book impacted antisemitism and the consequent killing of so many humans.
In a sense, this is a kind of proof, of ultimate human idiocy and underlying evil which is at the heart of “The Protocol” itself.
If you want to get depressed, dive into this story...… (mere)
