History News Network The prominent British historian Hugh Trevor-Roper depicted Irving as a man who "seizes on a small and dubious particle of 'evidence' using it to dismiss far-more-substantial evidence that may not support his thesis. 3) The June 12 1977 article was a review of Irving's "Hitler's War" by Hugh Trevor-Roper.

But in 1947, when he wrote this book, he was a younger, more cogent and wiser man.
