REVIEWS

First published 1978. This subseries contains one royalties statement from Macmillan.

First published 1978. This subseries contains one review.

First published 1979. This subseries contains a memorandum of agreement for, and an image of the cover of, the 2008 edition.

George Watson kept this material together: a proposal for a book on the relationship between genocide and socialism is accompanied by material on the articles 'Rehearsal for the Holocaust?' (1981), 'The Disinvitation of Nolte' (1989), 'How the Holocaust was hidden' (1990), 'Alfred Rosenberg: The Triumph of Tedium' (1995) and 'The Indictment of a People' (1998).

Note that 'The Lost Literature of Socialism' (1998) and the article 'Never Blame the Left' (1995), both containing arguments overlapping with the material here, were filed separately by Watson and so have been treated by the cataloguer as distinct subseries. That a promotional flyer for 'The Lost Literature of Socialism' is included in this subseries strongly suggests that it arose from the book proposed here.

Items will ultimately be catalogued individually; for now, a list follows.
