In 1994, Irving filed a libel lawsuit, not in the U.S. courtroom--where the onus of proof lies on the plaintiff, but in the UK--where the onus of proof lies on the defendant. At stake were not only the reputations of two historians, but the record of history itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe four-month trial took place in London in 2000 and drew international attention.
