Break His Bones

By Bradley R. Smith ∙ May 1, 1995

Last updated on

The book is going fine. Break His Bones is a working title—did I ever say that? Back in March, when I was going through my fit of sturm und drang, of that’s how you spell it, I talked about sharing the working manuscript with those of you who contribute to helping me stay alive while I finish it. I’ve rather changed my mind. Shipping the manuscript around, or parts of it, is a good way to get too many cooks in the kitchen, particularly the way I write, so after some reflection I have decided against doing it.

On the other hand, if you believe you might want to make a substantial contribution toward helping me finish the manuscript, but want to see what I have first to reassure yourself that it is a worthy project, I will be glad to send it along—for your eyes only. Roughly, the manuscript will have 33 chapters, 24 of which are finished or all but finished. The page count will be 250-300 pages when finished.

  • Bradley R. Smith

    Bradley R. Smith was born in Los Angeles on February 18, 1930. At 18 he joined the army and in 1951 served with the infantry in Korea where he was twice wounded. After three decades of a variety of professional activities, it suddenly hit him: In 1979 he read a leaflet by Professor Robert Faurisson, "The Problem of the Gas Chambers." Then, Arthur Butz’s The Hoax of the Twentieth Century did it for him. He understood from the beginning that he would address the censorship, the suppression of independent thought, the taboo against publishing and debating revisionist arguments—not the arguments themselves. That has remained his position. In 1989, Smith founded Committee for Open Debate on the Holocaust (CODOH) dedicated to defending free speech and free inquiry into the Holocaust question. He handed over CODOH's helm in late 2014. He passed away on his 86th birthday, February 18, 2016. Read a series of obituaries here.

    TUESDAY, 1 FEBRUARY. In Malibu this morning running down a geology report. The sky was full of sunshine and thick white clouds. Turned up Malibu Canyon and climbed swiftly up the grade.

    I’m in roughly the same situation I was this time last month, but I have something of a grasp on it. I’ve simplified Smith’s Report so that I can finish it in three working sessions rather than, as in the past, 10 sessions and oftentimes more. I’ve cleared my desk of several projects I was…
