A Note on Method
The common thread running through all of Irving's work is his insistence on primary sources. He does not write from other historians' books. He writes from the documents themselves — the original diaries, letters, signals, and memoranda created by the participants at the time.
This is what makes his work indispensable, regardless of whether one agrees with every interpretation he draws from the evidence.
