Irving describes his reliance on original documents, explains why he believes unpopular evidence should remain open to examination, and connects those arguments to the publishing disputes, entry bans and legal conflicts that shaped his speaking career. The recording is valuable both as a statement of method and as evidence of how Irving presented his public case to a live audience.
