En Golpeado, David Irving ofrece una narración fascinante de su arresto inesperado y posterior encarcelamiento por la policía secreta estatal austriaca (Stapo) en noviembre de 2005. Basado en una conferencia pronunciada dieciséis años antes, Irving fue sentenciado a tres años en la prisión más formidable de Austria, navegando a través de una terrible experiencia que pondría a prueba los límites de la resiliencia y la creencia de cualquier individuo en la libertad de expresión. Esta edición de tapa dura relata el juicio, el encarcelamiento y las batallas legales subsiguientes; todo transmitido con la característica ausencia de amargura y un agudo sentido del humor de Irving.
Spanning 146 pages, Golpeado unfolds the startling story of a British historian caught in the crosshairs of Austria’s post-war legal system, convicted under a law dating back to 1945. With a narrative enriched by vivid colour photographs, Irving shares the nuances of his 400-day confinement in solitary, the international outcry his case ignited, and the absurdity of facing new charges for simply engaging with the media. As the saga advances to the Court of Appeal, readers are offered a front-row seat to the stark realities of standing firm on one’s historical interpretations amidst a legal and societal climate that often favours silence over truth.

Anyone who is outraged by political correctness will enjoy this book. It is an easy read with loads of colour pictures. Mr Irving's narrative of his arrest and imprisonment in Austria will make you want to laugh and cry at the same time.

Compelling read about the circumstances of Mr Irving's arrest and imprisonment in Austria. Even handed narrative and real eye opener about the bizarre legal system in Austria. Well worth reading. Thank you for such an honest and balanced account.
