This book is ideal for readers interested in history, legal studies, Holocaust research, and the ethics of historical scholarship. It will particularly appeal to those fascinated by the intersection of history and law, as well as anyone concerned with combating misinformation and denialism.
In April 2000 a High Court judge branded the writer David Irving a racist an anti-semite, a holocaust denier and a falsifier of history. The key expert witness against Irving was the Cambridge historian Richard J. Evans. Here he tells the story of the trial and his involvement in it.
Richard Evans was the key expert witness in the David Irving trial in which the judge branded Irving a racist and anti-Semite. Evans explains here how he revealed Irving's methods of historical falsification and demonstrates Irving's connections with far-right Holocaust deniers in the United States

Description
Evans describes how he came to be involved in the case, and reflects on the interaction of historical and legal rules of evidence. He recounts his discovery of how Irving falsified the documentary evidence on which he claimed to have based his account of Hitler, the Holocaust, the Allied bombing of Dresden, and other aspects of World War II, and demonstrates his connections with far-right Holocaust deniers in the United States.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Praised as a powerful brief from the historical profession, Evans' writing is commended for its intelligence and passionate clarity, as noted by the Times Literary Supplement. The New Yorker describes the evidence presented as devastating, while Salon.com likens Evans' approach to a compelling detective story of historical research. Despite controversy and criticism from David Irving himself, the book is recognised for its methodical and thorough demolition of Irving's falsehoods.
