This is a book about the Holocaust, and about two competing views of that event. On the one hand we have the six million Jewish casualties, the gas chambers, the cremation ovens and mass graves. Jewish historians have thousands of surviving witnesses which have not held to scrutiny. On the other hand there is the truth. These revisionists present counter-evidence and ask tough questions. They are beginning to outline a new and different narrative.

Thus there has emerged something of a debate -- a debate of historic significance. This is no peripheral clash between two arcane schools of thought, regarding some obscure details of World War II. It is about history, of course, but it also speaks to fundamental issues of our time: freedom of speech and press, the operation of mass media, manipulation of public opinion, political and economic power structures, and the coercive abilities of the State. It is an astonishingly rancorous and controversial debate, with far-reaching implications.
