BANNED BOOKS

" BOOKS - These are the masters who instruct us without rods and ferules, without hard words and anger, without clothes and money. If you approach them, they are not asleep; if investigating you interrogate them, they conceal nothing; if you mistake them, they never grumble; if you are ignorant, they cannot laugh at you. The library, therefore, of wisdom is more precious than all riches, and nothing that can be wished for is worthy to be compared with it. Whosoever therefore acknowledges himself to be a zealous follower of truth, of happiness, of wisdom, of science, or even of the faith, must of necessity make himself a lover of books."

...Richard deBury in the year 1344



WHAT FOLLOWS IS A LISTING of banned books and the country responsible for the censorship. Although most of the titles would be classified as historical revisionism, CODOH opposes all such censorship of books. CODOH will attempt wherever possible to establish these banned titles on line. Below you will find only a fraction of such banned titles. Despite the banning and even burning of a number of these titles, organizations dedicated to fighting such censorship including the American Library Association, refuse to mention these books, invoking a censorship of their own.  It is an insidious version of what Harry Barnes called the "historical blackout."
