Omschrijving
Twelve chapters each on a single case. Each chapter reports the facts fully and fairly but makes no pretence to neutrality, it takes a stand. Throughout, Wiener illustrates the pitfalls of writing history, the pressures of publishing and how organized pressure groups campaign against authors they regard enemies.
