Soundbites

 

IN my judgement The Rise and Fall of the Luftwaffe ranks with Albert Speer's memoirs Inside the Third Reich as by far the most important book on Hitler's Germany to have appeared. . . Undoubtedly, it places David Irving in the front rank of contemporary historians.-- H Montgomery Hyde, Books & Bookmen, May 1974.

AFTER considerable vicissitudes David Irving takes his place in the first rank of historical chroniclers with this magisterial study. -- Laurence Cotterell, The Times, March 14, 1974

Mr. IRVING has made splendid use of the Milch papers and other German records which he has been able to study. -- Capt. Stephen Roskill, The Sunday Telegraph, March 10, 1974

DAVID Irving's remarkable exploration of the mind of Milch -- David Divine, The Sunday Times, March 10, 1974

HE combines a scholarly approach with an easy-to-read, pleasant style. The book . . . is wonderfully complete. New York Times, November 1974

IRVING'S earlier books have sometimes shown exaggeration and lack of judgement. This one is scholarly, fair and highly informative. -- A. J. P. Taylor, The Observer, March 10, 1974
