I would like to point out that David Irving, a Holocaust-minimizing historian has been discredited by a British court. I would not waste my time reading any of his books. Irving is clearly anti-semite, and it was proven in the British court case that Irving had disregarded facts and produced fake history.
I know that ... do you think that invalidates his earlier books as well as those that became contentious?
I am not 100% sure if this invalidates Irving's earlier books, but I would not trust a historian who has played down the Holocaust in an inexcusable way with ANYTHING. Therefore, I personally would not waste any of my precious time on any of Irving's books, no matter when they were written.
Thanks for your comment ... I'll take your advice ... so many books, so little time
