    Why is David Irving so unnerving to the history establishment? He possesses no university degree and was refused for service by the RAF. His father and brother were both officers. He is a popularizer of history with a knack for digging out awkward information. His books sell as do his lectures. His specialty, WW II, has made him a target. He served a year in prison in Austria for violating a law against holocaust denial. He lost an ill fated civil suite in London he brought upon himself for systematically softening the Nazi holocaust in his writings.

    Is David Irving an "historian" or simply a popularizer of history? He has a knack for self promotion. This book is his attempt to trump his adversaries. He declares himself a political prisoner of the 21st century. He claims to be a victim of a sophisticated network of "thought police". His failed civil suit will be the subject of a Hollywood movie in early 2017. Is Irving really a worthy adversary? All of this seems like piling on an author lacking the stature to begin with. His audiences will find it all further proof of punishing anyone who to fails to conform.

    Some of his books are historically worthy, Jutland and Dresden, in particular. Don't be surprised if the movie creates blowback favoring a minor self promoter.

    Excellent on abuses in " democracies" where freedom of speech is only a silly phrase .The author has been unjustly persecuted by the CENSORS.

    5.0 out of 5 stars George Orwell was visionary
    Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2018
    So called "free world" where people who speak up truth that does not follow the official governmental propaganda by ministry of truth end up in jail. It is not only David Irving, who experienced that, Julian Arrange is in the same position but in Ecuadorian embassy in London.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written account of Thought Crime in Western Europe
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2016

    I won't be looking at Germany or Austria with the same innocence again after reading this. Ignore the Irving case completely and read how freedom of speech is really teetering on the brink of destruction in a supposedly free democratic society. That the Holocaust denial laws are actually being enforced through pseudo-political trials is something the USSR and other totalitarian states would approve of. But the disturbing thing that Irving brings out in his well written and thought provoking book, is how the laws themselves have scared the media to act now as uncritical puppets of the official government line, to the extent that they openly clamour for the jailing of defence lawyers, who actually try to do their jobs. This book has some black comedy moments, provided courtesy of the Austrian government and it's also the first book I have really read (300+) where the captions for the book were actually a story in themselves, probably due to Irvings' forceful prose. It's a lesson other writers should copy.

    This is one of Mr. Irving's more turgid tomes as it is written in the first person, not in his usual brilliant historian coat. As usual with Mr. Iriving usually somewhere you find a little gem of fact.
