By David Irving
In 2005 David Irving was sentenced to three years imprisonment in Austria for expressing, some sixteen years earlier, an honest opinion based on diligent historical research. The opinion, however, contravened repressive legislation imposed during the Soviet occupation of Austria and still vigorously enforced by its supposedly democratic government today.
This famous historian writes graphically about his trial and imprisonment in Austria. What he said then. What he says now and what happened to him because of it. The almost unbelievable antics and double-speak of the court, police and lawyers is described in full, in a tale that is reminiscent of parts of Alice in Wonderland . Fairness, common sense and impartiality are clearly compromised in the Austrian justice system, but the country still pays lip service to human rights, and its leaders are still welcomed and feted in the councils of the ‘international community.’pp.146
