Edwin Black, the award-winning New York Times and international bestselling author of IBM and the Holocaust, War Against the Weak, The Transfer Agreement, Banking on Baghdad,  Internal Combustion, The Plan, and Nazi Nexus, is now embarking upon his next project. He is recruiting volunteer researchers, reporters and web developers.

IBM and the Holocaust involved some 100 people in seven countries. Internal Combustion and War Against the Weak each involved more than 50 in five countries. Banking on Baghdad deployed 30 in five countries. With the advance of technology and collaborative working,  both The Plan and Nazi Nexus required as few as a dozen assistants. A small number of new researchers will be needed for the next projects.

The next book project code-named "Project F" in late 2009 is one of history. It requires delving into Holocaust-era records in several languages beyond English and German. The 2010 book project code-named "Project R" requires several crackerjack reporters and researchers skilled in the surgical extraction of information from corporations, government, and litigation records. Locations will vary. Work will be mainly in English. Acknowledgement credits in both case are available.

But the main week-to-week project in 2009 and 2010 will be skilled editorial and content posting assistance at The Cutting Edge News, the online publication, with more than a million readers monthly. Online acknowledgement is available.

In addition, the following skills are sought: 1) Typists, especially those who can transcribe text from PDFs; 2) videomakers; 3) Graphic arts and designers, accomplished in C3 or C4.

Only those interested and ready to start immediately need apply. Continuity of availability is imperative. A non-disclosure agreement is required. Provide the following information:
