“Two books in English stand out from the vast literature of the Second World War. Chester Wilmot’s The Struggle for Europe, published in 1952, and David Irving’s Hitler’s War.

“A Rolls-Royce of a book.”
“Anyone who wants to learn about the political acts of one of this century’s most able and most dangerous men should remember that what they are reading is one brilliant propagandist writing about another.”
