Tendentious,
By A Customer
This review is from: Why History? (Paperback)
This book is deeply marred by its bitter attack on Richard Evans, the Cambridge historian who testified against David Irving in the recent trial in England. One should place Evans's account of this trial (Lying about Hitler) against Jenkins's view of Evans.If Jenkins did not worship his intellectual heroes so slavishly, or despise those with whom he disagrees so profoundly, he might have written a better book. One finds the adjective "brilliant" applied to everyone who agrees with Jenkins, while Evans is "someone to forget" (p. 201). This sort of writing suggests that Jenkins may be the author soon forgotten. |
