True Himmler. David Irving's dissenting work on Heinrich Himmler based on real letters, diaries, and documents exclusively available to him and on twenty years of research and interviews with Himmler's generals and private staff, incuding an analysis of his murder on May 23, 1945 by a special British killing unit. Hardback, with hundreds of original black-and-white and colour photographs from Himmler's albums.

David Irving's standard work on the early years of Winston Churchill and his war, based, like his work on Hitler, on and interviews and documents exclusively available to him, and thirty years of research in British and international archives. This first volume chronicles 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. Jacketed casebound, a limited edition of a de luxe boxed copy, will be available to those who order early.

First published April 30, 1963. Using official papers, private records, and the accounts of eye-witnesses on both sides, David Irving gives a harrowing account of the two saturation bombing raids executed by RAF Bomber Command on Germany's most beautiful city at the end of the war, a horrific firestorm raid which left over 100,000 innocent civilians dead or missing. Jacketed hardback.

A magnificent Focal Point reprint of a David Irving classic

From February 3, 1933, when he told his generals in secret of his ultimate ambition to invade and conquer the East, to September 3, 1939, when he left the Berlin Chancellery for the Polish front, Adolf Hitler had one obsessive goal – to wage war and achieve German revenge and hegemony.  David Irving's exclusive interviews with Hitler's staff, and his use of original and unpublished firsthand material led him across Europe in search of documents and correspondence.

350 pages including 27 pages of extraordinary illustrations, many never seen before.

David Irving was the first to find the secret British Intelligence and medical files on Churchill's prisoner, Hitler's deputy Rudolf Hess, who tried to stop the WW2 madness, and was given a life sentence for "crimes against the peace", and strangled to death by his American Negro guard. Laminated hardback.

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.

This book 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. (This book was previously published in North America under the title "The German Atomic Bomb".) Laminated hardback.

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 1937-1945; he provides a fascinating medical history of Hitler during his years of power. Laminated hardcover.

David Irving's book-length account of how he was ambushed by the Austrian Stapo, the secret state police, in November 2005, and sentenced to three years' jail in the country's oldest, grimmest prison for a lecture he had delivered sixteen years before: Go figure. The trial, the imprisonment, and the legal battles are related in a way devoid of all rancour or hatred. Hardback.
