I was not aware of this connection either..
It really is not relevant in the context of the book 'Churchilll's War'.
To
my recollection no reference to the 'Jewish question' enters this book.
It
is a remarkably scholarly work.

I've only read a small amount about Irving but he certainly seems to cause
a
lot of controversy and has been denied visas to many countries because of
his books. I find it hard that any sane person can deny what happened
throughout Europe during the 1930s and 1940s. The problem I have is that
if
Irving remoulds history to suit his arguments, then all of his work has to
be suspect.

You make a valid point here.
I have not read any other work by Irving. Churchill's War seems to be a very
well researched work with extensive use of 'recently' de-classified
documents, both British and American. Many brilliant people have had the
mental defect of anti-senitism.
I guess one can only be of a critical mind and try and accept the good
while rejecting the evil.

Regards.
Ken.
