Denial: Holocaust History on Trial

In her acclaimed 1993 book Denying the Holocaust, Deborah Lipstadt called David Irving, a prolific writer of books on World War II, amp;#8220;one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial.amp;#8221; The following year, after Lipstadtamp;#8217;s book was published in the United Kingdom, Irving led a libel suit against Lipstadt and her publisher. She prepared her defense with the help of a first-rate team of solicitors, historians, and experts, and a dramatic trial unfolded.

Denial, previously published as History on Trial, is Lipstadtamp;#8217;s riveting, blow- by-blow account of this singular legal battle, which resulted in a formal denunciation of a Holocaust denier that crippled the movement for years to come. Lipstadtamp;#8217;s victory was proclaimed on the front page of major news- papers around the world, such as The Times (UK), which declared that amp;#8220;history has had its day in court and scored a crushing victory.amp;#8221;
