Publisher's Summary

In her acclaimed 1993 book, Denying the Holocaust, Deborah Lipstadt called David Irving, a prolific writer of books on World War II, "one of the most dangerous spokespersons for Holocaust denial". The following year, after Lipstadt'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 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 newspapers around the world, such as The Times (UK), which declared that "history has had its day in court and scored a crushing victory".

Excellent work

Deborah Lipstadt’s prose is reliably gripping, and Kate Udall’s narration renders it ably. Well worth a listen.

A poignant read especially in such turbulent times as 2021.

This was an easy read and the audible version makes for easy listening too. What would have made it better, perhaps, is if there had been more British voices especially in the court scenes since the majority of the book occurs in London. I suppose one has to wait to see the movie for that. However, I’m concerned the movie may not keep true to the book. I shall wait to find out.

Wonderful account of a British defamation case.

This is a well written account by Deborah Lipstadt who is brave and open about her experience of being sued by the notorious 'historian' David Irving and takes pains not to make herself the hero of this fascinating story.
The reader has a decent voice but her habit of pausing in odd places takes a bit of getting used to. The book benefits from being played at 1.05 speed.
