Description
The Holocaust on Trial by D. D. Guttenplan is a true courtroom drama that recounts the 1999 trial between historian Deborah Lipstadt and right-wing chronicler David Irving, who claimed he had been falsely labelled a Holocaust denier. Guttenplan's account of the trial provides a detailed and balanced portrayal of both sides, drawing on his extensive access to the courtroom and its participants. The book also explores the wider debate over the Holocaust and the nature of historical truth, highlighting the importance of defending this crucial chapter in history from revisionist claims. Through his nuanced and fair-minded portrayal of Irving, Guttenplan sheds light on the motivations and methods of a prominent figure who has shaped public discourse on the Holocaust.
