.....The authors of these works were not fringe figures but instead individuals of the greatest mainstream credibility and expertise, and some of their books even became national bestsellers. But because the facts and analysis of events they provided differed so drastically from our standard narrative, their books soon lapsed into obscurity, and are almost totally unknown today, unknown not merely to the general public but even to educated elites and professional historians.

If we take the material contained in these works seriously and incorporate it into our analysis, our entire understanding of World War II is completely transformed.
