Fear - The Race's mortal enemy.

First there was the Black Book of Nazi crimes and
now The Black Book of Communism.

Why do so many 'just follow orders'?

Fear.

Show me a man without fear and I'll show you one
that won't follow anyone.

"Nearly 100 million deaths. Not casualties of
war, but civilian slaughter. Deaths in gulags and
concentration camps. Deaths from a bullet to the
head. Most of all, deaths by starvation - the
result either of planned famines, meted out as
punishment to internal foes (as in Stalin's
USSR), or unintended consequences of central
policy."

...

Why would this scholarly book - with its "just
the facts, Ma'm" approach and its extensively
documented claims - ignite a firestorm?

Partly it is because many crimes of Communism
have gone unexamined, due both to bias among the
intelligentsia and lack of access to archives of
Communist countries. As such, this book is a
shock to those who haven't been paying attention.
