It has come to my attention that in order to succeed further in my blogging ambitions I must now turn my attention to assessing how I am faring in this endeavour, rather than simply passing judgement on the various sources I have ascertained.
So how am I going?
Well, my usually inflated historic ego aside one would not say swimmingly in a number of manners. Books lie unread or not bought, a tribute to the ineptitude of the Blue Mountains City Council Library System and my lack of Australian finances to fund expeditions I will soon find myself left with only David Irving's 1995 edition of his book, something that I find unavoidable unless I can grab hold of his 1963 edition. I have decided to do another 2 chapters of firestorm, the exact nature of which will have to wait.
The next issue to raise is my mannerisms and indeed my objectivity. One would be blind to not notice my outward contempt for David Irving and is something I am dreading when it comes to writing about his book. So the best that any historian can do is to present as much useful evidence as possible to portray the evidence in the correct light. To reassure anyone who might be reading this I will not be wantonly attacking Irving and his book rather attempting to analyse it and offer his argument in the correct objective light.
