In Toronto, Ontario, in March 1979 David Irving (left) visited by appointment Sandor (Alexander) Kopacsi, who had been police chief in Budapest at the time of the anti-Communist uprising of 1956. Kopacsi wrote a famous book giving his inside storyof the event, chillingly titled In the name of the People. The interview was for Mr Irving's account of the revolution, Uprising, published in 1981 by Hodder & Stoughton.
