In this book; Deborah Lipstadt argues that; from 1933 to 1945; the American press failed to treat the destruction of European Jews as urgent news. When newspaper did report on the horrors being perpetrated; they adopted a skeptical posture; burying small stories with ambiguous headlines on inside pages. Lipstadt documents how the demand for objectivity; the cynicism or gullibility of reporters; the incredulity of editors; and an atmosphere of isolationism helped to shape the news - and influenced policymakers who might have saved countless lives.

Review
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A classic!By Kindle CustomerIt's a real shame that this book is out of print. This is one of the great; classic studies of the history of the development of Zen. Volume 1 (this one) covers the antecedents of Zen in India to its development in China. Volume 2 covers Zen in Japan. I've only read volume 1; but I learned a lot about both the history of Zen and also its philosophy. Dumoulin is one of the great scholars of the history of Zen; and although he is not always philosophically acute; you will get some genuine insights into Zen doctrine by reading this. (Of course; according to Zen; the doctrine isn't really what's important!)
