By David Irving, Christopher Hitchens ∙ March 4, 2017
An interesting debate, this is part two of two, in which Christopher Hitchens defends the right of free speech and free inquiry regarding David Irving´s publications.
David John Cawdell Irving was born on March 24, 1938, in Essex, England, the son of a Royal Navy Commander. After education at London University, he spent a year working in a steel mill in Germany, where he perfected his fluency in the language. His first book, the best-selling The Destruction of Dresden, was published in 1963, when he was 25 years old. This was followed by many others. His books have appeared in a range of languages. Several have been serialized in prominent periodicals. He has contributed articles to some 60 British and foreign periodicals including the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Express in Britain, and Stern and Der Spiegel in Germany.
View all posts Christopher Eric Hitchens (13 April 1949 – 15 December 2011) was a British and U.S. author, journalist, and educator. Author of 18 books on faith, culture, politics and literature, he was born and educated in Britain, graduating in the 1970s from Oxford with a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics. In the early 1980s, he emigrated to the U.S., where he gained prominence as a columnist and speaker. His epistemological razor, which states that "what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence", is still of mark in philosophy and law. Hitchens was an ardent advocate for the separation of church and state, and a self-described antitheist. Hitchens defended the right of free speech and free inquiry regarding David Irving´s revisionist publications.
