Lipstadt published the first comprehensive history of the Holocaust denial movement, identifying David Irving—a prolific and well-known writer on World War II—as one of its most dangerous spokespersons. A year later, Irving sued Lipstadt and her publisher, Penguin UK, for libel in a London courtroom, thrusting her and the historiography of the Holocaust into the international media spotlight. \u003cem\u003eHistory on Trial\u003c\/em\u003e is Lipstadt's personal, riveting chronicle of this high-stakes legal battle. This blow-by-blow courtroom drama details how she raised $1.5 million for her defense and assembled a first-rate team of solicitors, historians, and experts, including literary scholar Anthony Julius. Lipstadt recounts the forced silence she endured while facing Irving's relentless provocations in court, and reveals how her legal defense team gained access to Irving's personal papers—exposing his deep associations with neo-Nazi extremists, Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, and the white-supremacist National Alliance. Ultimately, the legal team systematically dismantled Irving's mask of respectability, uncovering the systemic prejudice, distortion of history, and ideological extremism that underbalanced his work. The historic ten-week trial concluded with a resounding victory for Lipstadt, establishing a monumental judicial precedent for historical truth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTarget Audience \u0026amp; Reading Specialization\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eEssential for academic researchers, historians, legal scholars, and readers of Jewish history and political science.
