This is one of the great untold stories of our time - that of the little band of generals entrusted with a historic task: invading and liberating Nazi-occupied Europe. They were supposed to be fighting the Germans, but some of their fiercest battles were fought against each other. At the center was the Supreme Commander himself, Dwight D. Eisenhower - sincere, indecisive, desperate to hold the Alliance together. Against him was Field-Marshal Bernard Montgomery, who strove ceaselessly to gain authority. Cavilling against them both were the others - the outrageous Patton, the dogged Bradley, the bomber barons like Spaatz, Vandenberg, and Butcher Harris, and Trafford Leigh-Mallory. After the war, there was a cover-up. Not until David Irving began his research did the full truth emerge. Among his unexpected discoveries was the wickedly candid diary of the obscure general who was Eisenhower s eyes and ears . Through this and other private accounts we see the war as the generals lived it - squabbling over perks and preferences, taking their mistresses with them on to the battlefield, and there are revelations about General Patton that will amaze. There are other surprises - General de Gaulle s use of torture upon his fellow Frenchmen is one, and a clear attempt by the Allies to get rid of him is another. This book is a history of command. It shows how the ambitions and personalities of the men at the top affect the course of a war and the lives of the ordinary mortals in the field.

Tον Απρίλιο του 1977 ο εκδοτικός κόσμος αιφνιδιάστηκε από την έκδοση σε Λονδίνο και Νέα Υόρκη του βιβλίου του David Irving, Ο Πόλεμος του Χίτλερ, ο τρόπος περιγραφής ενός τόσο μεγάλου ιστορικού γεγονότος σαν τον Β’ παγκόσμιο πόλεμο ήταν μοναδικός - σχεδόν σαν να τον διηγιόταν κάποιος από τους δικτάτορες πρωταγωνιστές του. Η έκδοση είναι βασισμένη στα όποια τελευταία αρχεία βρέθηκαν, συμπεριλαμβανομένων και των ημερολογίων του Χέρμαν Γκαίρινγκ και του περιβόητου γιατρού του Χίτλερ Theo Morell. Για πρώτη φορά επίσης, παρουσιάζονται έγχρωμες, δραματικές φωτογραφίες που τράβηξε ο κινηματογραφιστής του Χίτλερ, ο Walter Frentz. Αυτή η τελευταία έκδοση έχει ένα ακόμη προσόν: Περιέχει τα, για πολύ καιρό χαμένα, αρχεία από τις ανακρίσεις από την Γκεστάπο του στενού περιβάλλοντος του Ρούντολφ Ες, που τώρα ανήκουν σε ιδιώτη καθώς και σήματα υποκλαπέντα από τους Βρετανούς. «Οτιδήποτε ο Χίτλερ δεν διέταξε ή δεν έπεσε στην αντίληψή του, δεν αναφέρεται σ’ αυτό το βιβλίο», μας λέει ο συγγραφέας. «Η αφήγηση των γεγονότων ξεδιπλώνεται με την ίδια σειρά που ο Χίτλερ ασχολήθηκε μ’ αυτά». Το πρώτο που μαθαίνει ο αναγνώστης σχετικά με τις όποιες απόπειρες έγιναν εναντίον της ζωής του Χίτλερ, είναι το γεγονός της έκρηξης της βόμβας, που τοποθέτησε ο κόμης von Stauffenberg κάτω από το τραπέζι στο Στρατηγείου του Φύρερ. Η τεχνική του συγγραφέα είναι ασυνήθιστη, αλλά τις περισσότερες φορές πετυχαίνει. Το βιβλίο πούλησε 25000 αντίτυπα στην πρώτη του έκδοση στη Μ. Βρετανία, ενώ έκτοτε έχει επανεκδοθεί και μεταφραστεί επανειλημμένως. Αποτελεί, πλέον, εγκεκριμένο εγχειρίδιο των Στρατιωτικών Σχολών West Point και Sandhurst και σημαντικό εγχειρίδιο για πολλές Πανεπιστημιακές Βιβλιοθήκες ανά τον κόσμο, λόγω της πληθώρας ντοκουμέντων που περιέχει, που άλλοι ιστορικοί δεν είχαν καταφέρει να εντοπίσουν.

David Irving, author of many well known dissident histories including The Rise and Fall of the Luftwaffe, the Destruction of Dresden, and Hitler's War, began to re-examine another piece of the world's tragic history: the spontaneous national uprising of the Hungarians against 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, and there is no doubt that after this book the word funky will have a new meaning in the English language.   He could hardly have found a more topical year to publish his results: the year in which the Russians invaded Afghanistan, in which Rhodesia has chosen a Marxist government, in which Yugoslavia faces a new Soviet presence.   Irving was officially permitted to visit Budapest several times, he talked with eye witnesses and survivors there and obtained new documents and photographs from them. 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 anti-Semitism was one of the motors of the popular uprising. He has made use of hundreds of interrogation reports prepared at the time by American agencies, and supports this material by diplomats' diaries and the recollections of western newspapermen who went into Hungary.   The resulting study is a compelling autopsy of a failed revolution: viewed both from inside the council chambers of the powerful and from street level, where the nameless rebels are given names and personalities and profiles by Irving, thanks to the detailed records of the American psychiatrists who saw them. It is a book with a cast of ten million. David Irving tries with humor and concrete examples to understand what built up the revolutionary rage within them.   The real lessons are about the Soviet Union's unfrontiered cynicism: the Kremlin leaders have never cared about world opinion, and it is folly to expert them to abide by normal rules of diplomacy when their own imperialistc conquests are at stake. The funkies know that the world has a short memory. In fact the funkies bank on it.
