A Great Man David Irving seems convinced that his appeal of the judgement in the London Irving-Lipstadt libel case will succeed.

And since then it has generated considerable media coverage and commentary, not only in Britain, but around…

Numb with Shock Having just finished reading James Bacque's book, Crimes and Mercies, I am numb with shock. It is nearly impossible for me to believe what so-called fair and honest people of America and England carried out in postwar Germany. So much for my English heritage of fairness – of “playing cricket” by the…
