Cf. "Why Did The Heavens Not Darken?, " by Arno Mayer. (Jeesh, first three hits on google were the Holocaust Denialists at IHR and a similiar German journal, http://www.vho.org/GB/Journals/JHR/9/3/Faurisson375-379.html , aargh! ) A controversial thesis of Mayer's book was the emphasis on the Nazis anti-Bolshevism.
Mayer's newest book, "The Furies, " is focused on the post-revolutionary Thermidorean bloodbath in France and the Stalinist era. http://pup.princeton.edu/quotes/q6786.html "A remarkable new insight into the comparative social dynamics of revolutions and terrors, which provides very strong arguments against common stereotypes and misleading conservative interpretations."--Pierre Bourdieu Michael Pugliese
