Crimes against History takes a global approach to the extreme forms
of censorship to which history and historians have been subjected
through the ages. The book opens by considering the varieties of
censorship, from suppression, dismissal, and defamation to
persecution and murder. Part I, "Kill switch," tells the tragic
story of how the censorship of history has sometimes turned into
deadly crimes against history, with chapters looking at topics such
as historians and archivists being killed for political reasons,
attacks by political leaders on historians, iconoclastic breaks
with the past, and fake news. Part II, "Fragile freedom," reverses
the perspective and examines how the censorship of history has
backfired. Chapters consider the subversive power of historical
analogies and resistance to the censorship of history. The book
also contains a "Provisional memorial for history producers killed
for political reasons (from ancient times until 2017)". It is a
double tribute: to the history producers who were killed and to
those who mustered the courage to resist the blows of censorship.
