David Irving through the eyes of the cartoonist IN April 1977 Hodder & Stoughton published the first UK edition of David Irving ‘s biography, Hitler’s War. It immediately went into The Sunday Times best-seller list. Some newspapers did not like it, and The Guardian published an unfavourable review, illustrated by the above caricature by well-known cartoonist David Smith .
Mr Irving bought the original of this caricature, and the rights, from the artist, and has used a detail of it as his icon ever since. Related stories on this website: Published Work of David Irving: “Hitler’s War”
