I am about 1/3 of the way through a book called History On Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier. It's the account of a libel trial in Great Britain. The woman being sued for libel is an American historian whose specialty is the Holocaust. In one of her books, she described another historian...and I use that term loosely...as "one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial." On the basis of that, he (David Irving) sued her for libel in GB where the burden of proof is on the defendant rather than the plaintiff. It's extremely interesting. I am floored that ANYONE could even try to deny that the Holocaust ever happened! But apparently it's big business...and not just by the nutcases in Iran.

Each of your books sounds fun! Enjoy your patriartic holiday! We will be in Coronado for the big parade as well as beach time, fish tacos, walks in the evening, surf fishing, real Mexican food and visiting Ivan's folks...maybe the last time for a while.
