Re: "Göring a biography" by David Irving

Hi,

I would highly recommend this section of the website Nick included in his post: http://www.hdot.org/evidence/evans.asp

Richard J. Evans is a highly respected and very knowledgeable historian of Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries. The case he makes for Irving being a very poor historian is damning.

Evans demonstrates that Irving was making questionable statements based on non-existant or unreliable evidence from his very earliest works.

To quote Evans: "Not one of his books, speeches or articles, not one paragraph, not one sentence in any of them, can be taken on trust as an accurate representation of its historical subject. All of them are completely worthless as history, because Irving cannot be trusted anywhere, in any of them, to give a reliable account of what he is talking or writing about."

Cheers,
Andrew A.
