Lipstadt reveals how since the end of the war a broad array of Americans have tried to make sense of an inexplicable disaster, and how they came to use the Holocaust as a lens to interpret their own history. Drawing upon extensive research on politics, popular culture, student protests, religious debates and Zionist ideologies, Lipstadt weaves a powerful narrative that ranges from the civil rights movement and Vietnam, to the Rwandan genocide and the bombing of Kosovo UR - http://public.eblib.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=4550027 UR - http://site.ebrary.com/id/11222253 UR - http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=1250201 UR - http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctt1cc2n23 UR - http://www.myilibrary.com?id=932071 UR - https://muse.jhu.edu/book/46230/ UR - http://0-muse.jhu.edu.lib.exeter.ac.uk/books/9780813564784 UR - http://public.ebookcentral.proquest.com/choice/publicfullrecord.aspx?p=4550027 UR - https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ucm/detail.action?docID=4550027 UR - http://er.llcc.edu:2048/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1250201 ER -
