The Secret Diaries of Hitler’s Doctor The Morell Diaries vanished in 1945 but turned up in 1981 in the National Institutes of Health, Maryland, USA, which transferred them to the National Archives.

Was Hitler clinically mad? What diseases laid him low in 1941 and 1944 – at crucial moments in his nation’s history? David Irving discovered, transcribed, translated, and annotated the long-lost diaries of the infamous Dr Theo Morell, Adolf Hitler’s doctor from 1937 to 1945; he provides a fascinating medical history of Hitler during his years of power.

Royal Navalese dives into the heart of Royal Navy tradition with this captivating hardcover book, meticulously compiled by RN Commander John Irving, a distinguished figure from the early 20th century and father to the acclaimed historian David Irving. This book offers a unique window into naval life, uncovering the secret language – or “Navalese” – spoken among sailors of the Royal Navy up until the twilight of the British Empire post-1945.

Paired with the whimsical illustrations by Beryl Irving, David Irving’s mother serves as both a historical artefact and a lively read. The book brings to life the camaraderie, hardships, and distinctive humour that characterized naval life. Each term and expression is presented with clarity, often accompanied by amusing anecdotes that capture the essence of maritime culture.

First published in 1946 and republished in 2020 by Focal Point Publications, London, this edition allows readers to explore the nuances of naval slang that has evolved over centuries, offering insights into the language and Royal Navy life during a pivotal era.

Whether you’re a naval enthusiast, a linguistics aficionado, or simply curious about the unique lexicon of one of the world’s most renowned maritime forces, “Royal Navalese: A Glossary of Fo’csle Language” promises an enriching journey through the words and expressions that have shaped the identity of the Royal Navy.

Thirty-eight British and American cargo ships sailed in June 1942 for North Russia. On July 4, the British Admiralty ordered the escorts to turn back and escape, leaving each ship to fend for itself. Most were sunk. (David Irving’s harrowing 1967 account of the drama resulted in a major libel action in 1970.) Large softcover.

Churchill’s War, Volume II: Triumph in Adversity is David Irving’s standard work on the middle years of Winston Churchill and his war, based, like his work on Hitler, on documents exclusively available to him and thirty years of research and interviews and British and international archives. The second volume of Churchill’s War covers the middle years of this disastrous conflict.

After the first volume chronicled an almost unbroken series of disasters in his life, from Gallipoli and the Chanak crisis to the defeat of France and the military fiasco in Greece, the second sees him enter happier times, with great naval victories, El Alamein and the landings in North Africa. This book is a “stand-alone” book and does not require reading the first volume to understand or appreciate the story.

Jacketed hardback. The boxed edition comes in a collector’s case, and the book is bound in leather instead of cloth.
