で 強打この本では、デイヴィッド・アーヴィングが、2005 年 11 月にオーストリアの秘密国家警察 (シュタポ) に突然逮捕され、投獄されたときの感動的な体験を綴っています。16 年前に行われた講演に基づいて書かれたこの本では、アーヴィングはオーストリアで最も厳しい刑務所で 3 年の刑を宣告され、個人の忍耐力と表現の自由に対する信念の限界を試す試練を乗り越えました。このハードカバー版では、裁判と投獄、それに続く法廷闘争について詳細に記述されています。これらはすべて、アーヴィング特有の辛辣さのなさと鋭いユーモアのセンスで表現されています。
Spanning 146 pages, 強打 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.
