 Salon.com Books | Evil takes the stand
Irving is a British author whose romances of the Third Reich have managed to get him acclaimed as a serious historian from the likes of John Keegan ("an extraordinary ability to describe and analyse Hitler's conduct of military operations") and Christopher Hitchens ("Not just a Fascist historian, but a great historian of Fascism").
What that meant in this case was that because David Irving contended that the gas chambers were a hoax, British law required that in order for Deborah Lipstadt and her publisher to prove that Irving was a Holocaust denier, they first had to prove that the Holocaust actually took place.
The line on David Irving has long been that after establishing himself as a brilliant and tireless researcher in books like "The Destruction of Dresden" and "Hitler's War," he went off the rails, becoming more and more sympathetic to Hitler personally and to Nazism in general.
