The Irving case has done for the new century what the Nuremberg tribunals or the Eichmann trial did for earlier generations. --The Daily Telegraph ... offers an invaluable review of the information available between 1942 and 1947 about the genocide at Auschwitz-Bikenau. --Jewish Chronicle, 29 November 2002 ... the core of the book offers an invaluable review of the information available between 1942 and 1947 about the genocide at Auschwitz-Birkenau. --Jewish Chronicle, 29 November 2002

The bulk of the book is the methodical and chilling presentation of materials presented at the trial... interwoven with Irving's testimony and defense. Van Pelt has arranged an enormous amount of complex material succinctly and to great effect. Read as a whole, the book is a stunning courtroom drama and a vital document of historical evidence. This is an important addition to Holocaust literature and 20th-century history. -Publishers Weekly (starred review) Readers of this book, which will become the sine qua non of all writing about the Holocaust, should be warned that it describes the gruesome nature of Holocaust history, and the equally gruesome role of those who have sought to deny it. -The Jerusalem Post The Irving case has done for the new century what the Nuremberg tribunals or the Eichmann trial did for earlier generations. -The Daily Telegraph Fascinating insights into the conduct of the case and the main personalities... -Jewish Chronicle
