Richard J. Evans worked on the historical evidence on behalf of the defence during the Irving libel trial. In this book, he discusses the importance of historical writing and the social role of historians in such trials.
The recent David Irving libel trial raised a whole series of crucial issues, not only as to the ways in which the memory of the Holocaust is preserved, but also, and more generally, as to the nature of historical truth and how it relates to legal proof, and the limits of historical interpretation. Richard Evans, who spent two years preparing a 740-page report on the historiography of the Holocaust for the court, here unpacks the issues raised by the trial, from the career of Irving and the exposing of his methods, to the wider cultural memory of the Holocaust and the social and cultural functions of the historian in society. The book contributes to our understanding of the Holocaust, of the nature of historical writing and evidence, and the social role of the historian.
