This review is from: The Hoaxers: Plain Liars, Fancy Liars and Damned Liars (Hardcover)

The Hoaxers, Plain Liars, Fancy Liars, and Diamond Liars is commendable refutation of Holocaust Denial and the crimes of Hitler. However, he refuses to accept that leaders of the Left (Lenin, Stalin, Mao Zedong, et al.) were also mass murders. Since Hitler was defeated in war and the Nazi regime was completely occupied, we have in our possession the camps, the gas chambers, the letters, and blueprints that describe every detail of the holocaust machine. There really isn't any room for doubt about what the Nazis did or how they did it.

We did not however conquer the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union, despite Komminsky's denials, was a police state and an expert in covering up its crimes. His demand for the same level of physical evidence was unreasonable. The Gulags were just uncorroborated stories for him. That Krushchev denounced Stalin for these very crimes does not affect Komminsky. Nor does the discovery of the murdered Polish officers in Katyn forest (which he supposes was Nazi propaganda).

China under Mao Zedong, despite Komminsky's protests to the contrary, was also a police state. He denounces stories of mass killings in that country as so much anti-Mao propaganda. The reason he does not believe the number of people who supposedly died during the Great Leap Forward and the on-going Cultural Revolution was that there were no camps big enough to kill that many people in China. Genghis Khan managed somehow to kill millions without an elaborate camp system, but Komminsky cannot image his modern counterparts doing the same. These stories, by the way, we now know to be true.

If you were looking for a book to expose holocaust deniers, this is your book. If you were looking for a book that excuses the acts of left-wing dictatorships, then this also your book.
