This book is an exercise in character assassination. The workis plagued by erratic, unsubstantiated conclusions, gross inaccuraciesand a jagged, occasionally chaotic writing style. Ebhard Jackel has a nasty habit of generalizing and jumping from point to point without offering the necessary expansion of his theories. Even the footnotes are vague. The author, almost without exception, cites other literary works as "proof" of his conclusions. This type of circular logic is not becoming of professional historians or even writers in general...There are much better critiques of Irving's work than the one mentioned here. Amazon should be commended for offering literary works with alternative viewpoints. END
