I have to disagree, Doug. Bartov's review was not only just, it was kind. He at least spent the first few paragraph's praising Finkelstein's earlier books on Peters and Goldhagen (at least the first half of the latter), which is more good words that Norman got in any of the review articles I saw in Salon or Slate or in any of the big papers in Germany.
