Pretty good book. Not holocaust denying but an analysis of how Jewish elites use the Holocaust narrative for politics and money. The part about how the World Jewish Congress extorted the Swiss banks out of 1.25 billion is like something out of a mafia film. Truly amazing. Even if you’re not interested in the Jewish question it’s a good example of how power and politics work in this world. The author (himself Jewish) writes in a caustic, unapologetic tone, so it’s perfect for a 4chan audience..

Not that guy, but I don't mind reading used books if I'm borrowing them from a public library or from an acquaintance for a week or two at most, but if I'm gonna read once and not read it ever again in my life, I'd rather download it and read it on my phone (or even on my computer) than to buy a used copy.
