David John Cawdell Irving (born 24 March 1938) is an English author who has written on the military and political history of World War II, with a focus on Nazi Germany. His works include The Destruction of Dresden (1963), Hitler's War (1977), Churchill's War (1987) and Goebbels: Mastermind of the Third Reich (1996). He was recognized for his knowledge of Nazi Germany and his ability to unearth new historical documents. After the success of the Dresden book, Irving continued writing. His 1964 work The Mare's Nest – an account of the German V-weapons program and the Allied intelligence countermeasures against it – was widely praised when published and continues to be well regarded. Michael J. Neufeld of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum has described The Mare's Nest as "the most complete account on both Allied and German sides of the V-weapons campaign in the last two years of the war." In 1971, Irving translated the memoirs of General Reinhard Gehlen, and in 1973 published The Rise and Fall of the Luftwaffe, a biography of Field Marshal Milch. He spent the remainder of the 1970s working on Hitler's War and The War Path, his two-part biography of Adolf Hitler. More

"This beautifully illustrated and sensitively designed volume returns to now-long-abandoned U.S. Army Air Force bases in England, melding photographs from World War II with recent views of overgrown runways, rusting Nissen huts, and crumbling, ghostly control towers".--American History Illustrated. 250 illustrations, 100 in color. Remarkable look back to those parts of England which were taken over by the American Air Crews during the War - and what they look like now. Allows for a glimpse into how our men and boys lived in their "homes" to which they were very grateful to return after their missions over Germany. Not much left now, but that in itself is a peak into the British themselves who were thrust into co-existing with the Americans - who were a pain but gratefully needed in this part of England. The memorials erected by the English speaks to how much they might have griped about these boys taking over their country - they were gratefully appreciative of what those "boys" did for them. Rex Alan Smith is the co-author of One Look Back and the author of The Carving of Mount Rushmore and the Moon of Popping Trees, the story of the Wounded Knee Massacre He also co-authored Pacific Legacy: Image and Memory from World War II in the Pacific. Smith is a veteran of thirty-six months with the Army Engineers in the Pacific. More
