The Journal of Historical Review - cover

Volume Seven ∙ Number Four ∙ Winter 1986

Between 1980 and 2002, The Journal of Historical Review was published by the Institute for Historical Review.

World-class historian David Irving is no stranger to readers of the JHR.

Thus the raids carried out by Attorney …
