In an act of censorship that liberals would normally decry as fascist and authoritarian, Amazon banned a new edition of The Camp of the Saints by the late French novelist Jean Raspail — and then quietly re-listed the book after online backlash to the company’s attempted censorship. The book, published by a small outfit called Vauban Books, was removed from Amazon’s U.S. site on Monday with almost no explanation. As of this writing, Amazon has not explained why it de-listed the book.

Vauban Books released a statement Monday saying Amazon informed them the novel was in violation of the company’s “offensive content” policy — an odd reason to ban a book on a site that offers some 50 million titles, many of which certainly contain “offensive content,” depending on who you ask. Vauban said it didn’t know why Amazon made this decision, noting that its edition of The Camp of the Saints has been available on Amazon since July 2025 and has sold about 20,000 copies. Vauban did note, however, that “it may be no coincidence that the listing was removed one day after New York Magazine published a critical article on Vice President Vance that referenced the book.”
