Dans Amochée, David Irving livre un récit captivant sur son arrestation inattendue et son incarcération ultérieure par la police secrète autrichienne (Stapo) en novembre 2005. Sur la base d'une conférence donnée seize ans auparavant, Irving s'est retrouvé condamné à trois ans dans la prison la plus redoutable d'Autriche, naviguant à travers une épreuve qui mettrait à l'épreuve les limites de la résilience et de la croyance de tout individu en la liberté d'expression. Cette édition cartonnée raconte le procès et l'emprisonnement ainsi que les batailles juridiques qui ont suivi ; le tout véhiculé avec l'absence d'amertume caractéristique d'Irving et un sens de l'humour aiguisé.
Spanning 146 pages, Amochée 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.
