Relaxed conversation with a West Point major
I HAVE been accepted into the United States Army Officer
Candidate school, which is scheduled to start in April. It has been quite a process with stringent mental and physical tests, examinations, and interviews. After one particular interview, a certain Major and I fell into a relaxed conversation on a myriad of topics. One topic that came up was the upcoming second volume of your book ‘Churchill’s
War’.
I mentioned your website and found out that this
Major was well versed in your earlier books but hadn’t a clue of the legal battles and World-Wide campaign against your person and your credibility as a historian.
He is a graduate of West Point. It was actually at West
Point that he first read a couple of your books, as a few were stocked at the library there. He declared that your book on Rommel was one of his favorites. Spiked with a curiosity as to the ‘nature’ of the legal battles you were waging, he asked and I answered that it dealt with libel of ‘anti-Semitism’ and
‘holocaust denial’ and that your books were being banned and publishers were on the retreat.
He said: “Irving? . . . Let me ask so and so down at the
Point about this.” About two weeks later I ran into the
Major again, and he told me that your books are still shelved at the library at West Point. Just last night, he told me on the phone that he had visited your website and that he is quite fascinated.
I saw that you will be having an expert on the Holy
Shroud at Real History
USA – Cincinnati. God bless you, Mr. Irving! To honor
Jesus Christ, Sovereign King, in such a way will bring many graces to you and your endeavors. I honor you for your courage and fight. One Internet site I have found to be the
*best* on the Holy Shroud and the whole controversy of the carbon-14 testing is at: http://www.crc-internet.org/shroud.htm.
