In today’s episode of The Backlash, Rebecca Hargraves and Dave Reilly are joined by Adam Irving — grandson of the world-famous and fiercely controversial historian David Irving, and the current head of Irving Books.
Adam opens up about his early life, what it meant to grow up in the shadow of a man who has been praised, condemned, censored, and litigated more than almost any historian of the 20th century — and why he chose to take up the mantle of preserving his grandfather’s work.
We discuss the legacy of David Irving, the ongoing battles over historical truth, the publishing industry’s shift toward ideological control, and how censorship has changed since the infamous libel trials of the 1990s. Adam explains how he navigates criticism, why Irving Books is still relevant today, and how he approaches sensitive subjects including World War II, Churchill, the Holocaust, and the broader fight over who gets to define “acceptable” history.
We also talk about the future: expanding Irving Books, maintaining accuracy and integrity in publishing, responding to critics, and what historical patterns Adam sees repeating in today’s political climate.
Whether you agree with David Irving or not, this conversation is an unfiltered, thought-provoking look at history, censorship, and the modern struggle over the written record.
