Garaudy was a major PCF intellectual in the 60's and 70's. Don't know why he left the French Communist Party. Was one of the leading attackers of Sartre.
Book is a "Holocaust Revisionist, " ahem, "classic, " along with, "Did Six Million Really Die? by Butz. (actually Hilberg estimates 5.1 million Jews killed in the Holocaust) Not surprised that Noontide Press is selling this.The press founded by neo-fascist Willis Carto.
Material on this book by Garaudy in Alain Finkielkraut, "The Future of a Negation, " Univ. of Nebraska Press.
Much more material, mostly from European left intellectuals like Trotskyist Enzo Traverso, Spanish Communist Jorge Semprun (who was imprisoned in WWII in one of the Nazi camps, yrs. later involved with writing the script of Costa-Gavras, "Z, ") and Pierre Vidal-Naquet. The entire text of , "Assasins of Memory, " might have material on Garaudy too. (Attn: Lance Murdoch, the text is not kind to a source of yours on Kampuchea and the virtues of the Khmer Rouge, Serge Thion, part of the La Vielle Taupe, ultra-left Holocaust "Revisionists") http://www.anti-rev.org/textes/VidalNaquet92b/ http://www.anti-rev.org/textes/
