Bio: david john cawdell irving -lrb- born 24 march 1938 -rrb- is an english holocaust denier and author who has written many books on the military and political history of world war ii , with a focus on nazi germany . his works include '' the destruction of dresden '' -lrb- 1963 -rrb- , '' hitler 's war '' -lrb- 1977 -rrb- , '' churchill 's war '' -lrb- 1987 -rrb- , and '' goebbels : mastermind of the third reich '' -lrb- 1996 -rrb- . though irving 's negationist views of world war ii were never taken seriously by mainstream historians , he was recognized for his knowledge of nazi germany and his ability to unearth new historical documents . irving marginalized himself in 1988 when , based on his reading of the pseudoscientific leuchter report , he began to espouse holocaust denial . irving 's reputation as a historian was discredited when , in the course of an unsuccessful libel case he filed against the american historian deborah lipstadt and penguin books , he was shown to have deliberately misrepresented historical evidence in order to promote holocaust denial . the english court found that irving was an active holocaust denier , antisemite , and racist , who '' for his own ideological reasons persistently and deliberately misrepresented and manipulated historical evidence '' . in addition , the court found that irving 's books had distorted the history of adolf hitler 's role in the holocaust in order to depict hitler in a favourable light .
