    ?Amazon?s removal of paperback listings for Jean Raspail?s 1973 novel
    The Camp of the Saints has reignited debate over how major online
    platforms handle politically sensitive books, raising questions among publishers and commentators about content standards, enforcement
    consistency, and the growing influence of digital gatekeepers in the
    book market.?

    ?The decision affected Vauban Books? 2025 English paperback edition of
    the novel, which was reportedly taken down from Amazon?s U.S. store in mid-April.?

    Yup, Amazon shadow bans books. They got caught this time.

    Ah, so Lynn isn't against general yanking of books by Amazon, just the
    MAGA propaganda books. Thank you.

    Christopher Priest's 1972 novel predates that somewhat, see:

    <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugue_for_a_Darkening_Island>

    "Afrims: The immigrants from Africa, who have been fleeing the state of
    turmoil on the continent that resulted from use of nuclear weapons and
    covert foreign intervention by major powers there."

    ISBN 0-571-09794-4, it's still available from Amazon.

    I can understand that those who conflate ?Western civilization? with ?civilization? might get their knickers in a twist over this ...

    I saw no such implication.

    If the book is from 1973, it can't stem from MAGA. MAGA didn't exist
    until 2015.
