Think a post I just sent was chewed up in the aether so...here are the URL's again ;-(

>From the sixties list, Vietnam Generation. Mostly on the KR and
cambodian studies, valuable material to supplement the Sophal Ear sr. thesis on the KR and Chomsky, Shawcross, Ben Kiernan, Jean Lacouture, Vickery and the late Malcolm Caldwell, who advocated a more extreme version of de-linking than Samir Amin and was assasinated under suspicious circumastances in Bangkok. (See his Zed Press book about 200 pgs on dependency and de-linking.) The above URL also has some comments on the Father of Alex Cockburn, Claude, btw. (Didn't he co-write the screenplay to the Bogart movie, "Beat The Devil."?)

http://www2.prestel.co.uk/littleton/www2_holocaust_revisionism.htm A review of revisionist and anti-revisionist scholarship (for which see the http://www.anti-rev.org/ website for the full texts of, Assasins of Memory, " and, "On Chomsky and Faurisson, " by Pierre Vidal-Naquet, texts by Italian Trotskyist, Enzo Traverso who has a book from Humanities Press on marxism and the holocaust, and many other texts like from Alain Finkielkraut, author of, Anatomy of a Negation, " from U. of Nebraska Press.) which goes into the faurisson affair and also reviews the websites radio islam, CODOH, vho, and AARGH. Radio Islam is particularly interesting as it features writing by ex-Communist intellectual for the PCF, Roger Garaudy ("The Founding Myths of Israeli Politics, available on the web.) and other figures like the Maoist/Hoxhaite son of Alva and Gunnar Myrdal, Jan. Jan co-wrote w/Gun Kessle a book that Monthly Review Press published circa '71 on Hoxha's Albania, quite embarrassing to read. [One of his books onn the PRC circa '70 in the Vintage books/random House copy I used to have had is worth a look. Check out his columns in a leading swedish newspaper.
