The Myth of Rescue

It has long been claimed that the Allies did little or nothing to rescue Europe's Jews. Did they deny refuge to those fleeing Hitler's death machine? Why did they fail to bomb Auschwitz and the other concentration camps in order to liberate them? Arguing that the rescue of the Jewish people has been consistently misinterpreted, this book states that few Jews who perished could have been saved by any action of the Allies. In his new introduction to the paperback edition, William Rubinstein responds to the controversy caused by his challenging views, and considers further the question of bombing Auschwitz, which remains perhaps the most widely-discussed alleged lost opportunity for saving Jews available to the Allies.
