Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory
In her acclaimed 1993 book Denying the Holocaust, Deborah Lipstadt called David Irving, a prolific writer of books on World War II, €œone of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial.€ The following year, after Lipstadt€s book was published in the United Kingdom, Irving filed 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 Lipstadt€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. Lipstadt€s victory was proclaimed on the front page of major news-
papers around the world, such as The Times (UK), which declared that €˜history has had its day in court and scored a crushing victory.€€Â
