With his book Hoax of the Twentieth Century, A. R. Butz, Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, was the first (and so far the only) writer to treat the entire Holocaust complex from the Revisionist perspective, in a precise scientific manner. This book exhibits the overwhelming force of historical and logical arguments which Revisionism had accumulated by the middle of the 70s. It was the first book published in the US which won for Revisionism the academic dignity to which it is entitled. It continues to be a major revisionist reference work, frequently cited by prominent personalities. This new edition comes with several supplements adding new information gathered by the author over the last 25 years. Because of its prestige, no library can forbear offering The Hoax of the Twentieth Century, and no historian of modern times can ignore it. A 'must read' for every Revisionist and every newcomer …

JIm FUlner reviewed The hoax of the twentieth century by A. R. Butz

1 star

I had wanted to read this because I knew that holocaust deniers existed, and I wanted to find out why the heck they believe the way the do. returnreturnI couldn't do it, I couldn't get through it. It is written incredibly poorly. The publisher left practically no margins in the book, and they incorrectly show how they quote long portions of others work (printing it smaller instead of further indents). I understand they are on a budget and they feel they have important information to get out, but it made it nearly unreadable. returnreturnOn that the documentation is poor, like the most challenging claims seem to have no thing to back them up and the boring stuff are way over documented.
