Atkins traces the history, causes, and spread of holocaust denial, illustrating how rational thinkers can come under the sway of fringe ideas.
Stephen E. Atkins is curator for The Robert L. Dawson French Collection at the Cushing Library and Adjunct Professor of History at Texas A&M University. His numerous published works include Encyclopedia of Modern American Extremists and Extremist Groups (Oryx, 2002), Historical Encyclopedia of Atomic Energy (Greenwood, 2000), which was awarded Booklist Editors' Choice Award for 2000, and Terrorism: A Handbook (1992).
Atkins (history, Texas A&M U.) presents what is essentially a
catalogue of Holocaust deniers around the world. Following a short
narrative history of the Holocaust, he describes, individual by
individual, a compendium of Holocaust deniers in Europe, North
America, the Muslim World, and elsewhere, providing accounts of the
politics and activities of each.
