Les Mythes fondateurs de la politique israélienne

Roger Garaudy, Roger Garaudy, Samiszdat, original edition, 1996, Coll. Bfm - Limoges

Historical revisionism assembles currents such as the far-right or the extreme left at the crossroads of anti-Zionism, anti-Semitism and anti-Communism. Roger Garaudy stands at this slippery intersection. This essay made the former militant communist, anti-colonialist and Islamic convert a famous man. Its wide diffusion, in France and abroad, was cleverly orchestrated by Pierre Guillaume, founder of the Paris book shop La Vieille Taupe. In February, 1996, both author and publisher were condemned to pay fines for defamation and contestation of a crime against humanity. Two years later, in the Appeal Court, Garaudy and Guillaume were given suspended prison sentences and a fine. Their appeals, including one in to the European Court of Human Rights, were rejected.
