A “bullying neo-fascist conman” replies

Sir, — Nick Cohen repeats the legend that William Heinemann, a firm of unquestionable high reputation, having signed up the book by Prof. Richard Evans, “bravely pulped it after Irving threatened to sue”. This just ain’t so. I had no contact with Heinemann either before or after. They took the decision on the advice of their own lawyers, and it may well prove to have saved them a lot of money.

Established in 1980 by David Irving and his Focus Group, FPP initially aimed to preserve British cultural heritage through the ‘Focal Point’ newsletter, reaching a dedicated circle of 500. By 1982, in response to increasing external pressures and challenges to free expression, FPP initiated an International Campaign for Real History. This effort, underscored by a series of global historical lectures, underscores our commitment to presenting ‘Real History’—unbiased and undiluted.
