Evans describes how he came to be involved in the case, and reflects on the interaction of historical and legal rules of evidence. He recounts his discovery of how Irving falsified the documentary evidence on which he claimed to have based his account of Hitler, the Holocaust, the Allied bombing of Dresden and other aspects of World War II, and demonstrates his connections with far-right Holocaust deniers in the United States.

Reviews for Telling Lies About Hitler: The Holocaust, History and the David Irving Trial

An astonishing brief of the historical profession against a fallen practitioner. Evans exhibits a vivid intelligence, clear writing and a bright animating rage. -- Mark Grief * Times Literary Supplement * Evans is a flat, dull, boring, venal, corrupt conformist who willingly sold his soul to the Devil. -- David Irving The evidence marshalled by Evans against Irving is devastating. -- Ian Buruma * The New Yorker * The tingle of intellectual discovery runs through Evans' methodical demolition of Irving's work ... A classic example of historical research as detective story. -- Charles Taylor * Salon.com *
