On the suggestion of Mr Wright I have decided on a bit of a idea switch. Because me other idea was perhaps a bit too broad, and as Mr Wright pointed out, has taken historians books to investigate, it isn't going to work as a topic for History Extension. An idea that will, hopefully, work for History Extension however is the idea of Irving's modern use and misuse of history through the rather modern means of his blog and website.
While this idea is strong, my only concern is whether other historians will have written about this, but I'm sure I can use the sources about Irving's misuse of history I have already gathered and find some more.
I better go, because my family is sitting in the car waiting for me, and I still have to brush my teeth, but I will blog later today with more thoughts on this idea.
"Skunky" writes about the website - but that's o.k. The beauty of it is that the website will keep changing.
