Summary:
Controversial historian David Irving sued Jewish-American academic Deborah Lipstadt for libel after she had accused him of being a distorter of history and a Holocaust denier. Irving mounted his case alone, without legal support, taking on the legal big guns of a major publisher. This is a reenactment of the courtroom proceedings as Irving defends himself and Hitler's atrocities. Raises the origins of the final solution and recounts the horrors of the Nazi death camps. Explores the motives of those who continue to deny the holocaust.
