A few weeks ago, I briefly talked about a book called The Camp of the Saints.

It's a dystopian novel by a French author that was first published in the 1970s.

And the Camp of the Saints is unlike every dystopian novel that's taught in schools because

the villain of the story in this case is not the surveillance state or fascism or anything like that. Instead,

the primary threat in the Camp of the Saints is a massive migrant horde from the Third World.

It's a book that was banned and censored relentlessly upon its release for obvious reasons.

a definitive edition of the book. Their goal was making it accessible and affordable after every other

were praising the novel on social media, have been for a while. The reviews were almost

universally positive with a 4.8 star rating on Amazon, which controls about 50% of the physical

book market. And then about 24 hours ago, the book simply disappeared from Amazon entirely

without any explanation. If you tried to navigate to the latest edition of the Camp of the Saints,
