I guess PC is not just a US phenomenon.

But it seems to be more virulent here. I checked a couple of weeks ago, and French and German translations of the first volume of this two-volume work are available from amazon.fr and amazon.de. The French translation appeared in March 2002. Yet no English translation seems to be available, not here in the U.S., not in the UK, nowhere. Got to wonder why is that.

Thanks for the ping. I've read reviews, but obviously haven't read the book (my French stinks, no German, no Russian).

You wonder why? Guys, do you really think the English speaking world is more PC, in the context of banning books, than the French and German speaking world? So far as I know the reason Amazon doesn't carry it is it's not yet published in English. I've no way of knowing if the books antisemitic or not, if it is I know the languages I'd publish it in after Arabic though, and English would be third on my list.

I don't know when the versions you read came out, but good grief, it's only been around a year and a half or so in Russian. I'm sure Amazon will get to it.
