    The Smoke Screen of Jutland

    Rated 0 out of 5
    Original price was: $39.00.Current price is: $33.00. Add to basket

    Considering the Battle of Jutland (31 May 1916) to be a precursor to the ultimate victory of 1918, Commander John Irving gives a detailed account of the highs and lows of this extraordinary naval battle that involved more than 200 vessels in close engagement. After analysing all the records of the Battle of Jutland, including key unpublished evidence, he puts together a strong defence of Royal Navy Grand Fleet’s admiral, Sr. John Jellico. With academic rigour and clear vision, John Irving takes the reader through the facts: German guns claimed three times as many hits on British ships as the British claimed on the Germans.

    He then outlines the multiple errors on the day which led to Sr. John Jellicoe being underinformed. Yet despite these failures, it can be argued that the Battle of Jutland confirmed British naval dominance. The German battlecruisers retreated during the night in order to escape defeat. Sir John Jellico had secured Britain’s safety; the prestigious Royal Navy Grand Fleet suffered losses, but delivered victory.

    Uprising! Hungary 1956: One Nation’s Nightmare (eBook)

    Rated 0 out of 5
    $19.00 Add to basket

    Uprising! Hungary 1956: One Nation’s Nightmare is as book by David Irving, described by a UK judge as the leading expert on World War II, examines the spontaneous 1956 uprising of the Hungarians against rule from Moscow – against the faceless, indifferent, incompetent functionaries who had turned their country into a pit of Marxist misery in one short decade: the funkies, Irving calls them, adapting the Hungarian word funkcionariusok.

    He traced and questioned the men who had been kidnapped, exiled, imprisoned and put on trial with the prime minister Imre Nagy, who was sentenced to death, and members of Nagy’s family. It is Irving’s assessment of Imre Nagy that will raise eyebrows, together with his discovery among official records of evidence that antisemitism was one of the motors of the popular uprising.

    The resulting study is an autopsy of a failed revolution, viewed both from inside the council chambers of the powerful and from street level. This is a compelling drama, with a cast of ten million.

    The Guardian: “Irving skilfully combines sources . . . The result is disconcerting, rather like reading a film script, but it works particularly well.”
    Laminated hardback.

    The Virus House tells the Real History of the attempt by Adolf Hitler’s nuclear scientists to build the atomic bomb. They were closer to success than people now like to believe…

    Until 1942, they were ahead of the Allies. Then, a German mathematician made a crucial mistake, which forced the team of atomic physicists to believe they could only build a nuclear reactor with Heavy Water.

    The one factory which distilled that costly liquid, drop by precious drop, was in the mountains of southern Norway, vulnerable to bombing attack – and to sabotage by daring British Special Operations teams.
