  • Notes

    1. Roberts acknowledged the book as a "high partisan book" for positing that Joseph Stalin was "a very effective war leader who played a decisive role in the defeat of Hitler" and added, "It is also a work of scholarship that is based on all the available evidence and careful weighing of different arguments. It has been extensively reviewed but not even its worst critics have questioned its scholarly integrity." [8]
    2. The university responded to the request: "The proposed work, although it was written by a university professor, does not in principle seem to us to display the historical and scientific neutrality required for it to be included on our shelves. Nor do the other books published by the same publishing house." [8] The French translation of the book was published by Editions Delga, which describes itself as "a publishing house specialising in the humanities engaged in the defence of public cultural service, Marxist research and history of the international communist movement." [8]
    3. The online's petition, "submitted under the names of Godefroy Clair, Research Engineer at Université Paris 8, Annie Lacroix-Riz, Professor Emeritus of contemporary history at Université Paris 7 and Aymeric Monville, editor-in-chief, Editions Delga" according to the Irish Examiner , saw such refusal as part of a wider "McCarthyist censorship" in French universities. [8]
