By David Irving | Hardcover edition
In November 2005, David Irving was arrested in Austria on charges related to speeches delivered seventeen years earlier. This memoir documents his thirteen months of imprisonment in Austrian jails, written from notes made during incarceration.
The work records the daily experience of imprisonment—the routines, the interactions with guards and fellow prisoners, the legal proceedings, and the conditions of confinement. Written as a contemporary diary rather than retrospective memoir, the account preserves the immediacy of the experience.
The memoir maintains the documentary approach characteristic of Irving's historical work, recording observations and conversations with the specificity of a field researcher. The result is an anthropological study of the Austrian prison system as experienced from within.
Of interest to scholars of European speech law, prison studies researchers, and collectors of Irving's complete works. The memoir provides unique documentation of early twenty-first century Austrian incarceration.
