The Holocaust-denying historian David Irving sued Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt for damages, claiming he had been libelled in Lipstadt's book Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory, published in the UK by Penguin in 1994 and originally in the USA in 1994 by The Free Press. Originally Irving had named four Waterstones' bookshops as codefendants, but they were later dropped from the suit. Because of the complexity of the evidence to be submitted, the parties agreed to have a single judge try the case. The trial opened in the High Court in London January 11th, 2000 and Justice Gray found for the defendants on April 11, 2000.

One of the most eminent 20th century American psychologists, Murray (who in the 1920s was a leading figure in the Melville revival) was appointed director of Harvard's Psychological Clinic in 1937—he had originally been hired there as an instructor by its founder, Morton Prince. Murray's reputation was secured by the 1938 publication with collaborators of Explorations in Personality, a book that essentially founded in America the modern psychological study of personality and that described numerous projective techniques, including the Thematic Apperception Test. In 1943 Murray left Harvard for a position in the Army Medical Corps to help with the war effort. He established and directed the Office of Strategic Services, helping to invent the post-World War II espionage universe, as described in his book on the OSS published after the war.
- A preliminary draft of the very first psychological profile ever done, in which Murray correctly predicted Hitler's suicide after the defeat of the German army — quite possibly the only surviving copy. A version dated October 1943 exists and has been made publicly available at Cornell Law School's web site. As reported in the Cornell Daily Sun for April 6th, 2005, "only 30 copies of the report were ever printed, and many of those copies are missing or have been destroyed. Thomas Mills, the international and foreign research attorney at the Law Library in charge of the Donovan collection …, said that he only knows of three or four copies in existence today, including the one in the Donovan collection." The later version is considerably longer and contains both an introductory summary and an opening section, "Hitler the Man: Notes for a Case History," written by W. H. D. Vernon.
- The study was done for the Office of Strategic Services (the "OSS"), the predecessor of the CIA. Until an article about Murray's report appeared on page A18 of the March 31st, 2005 New York Times, few people were aware of the existence of the Murray report — it had been assumed that Walter Langer's well-known study of Hitler, which formed the basis for his best-selling 1972 book The Mind of Adolf Hitler, was the first psychological study of the Nazi dictator. Murray had worked with Langer and his report was ultimately absorbed into Langer's, with knowledge of Murray's earlier effort subsequently forgotten. This preliminary version of the report is largely identical to a section that constitutes about 20% of the October (presumably final) report. There are, however, a few differences: for example, on the first page of the report that we have Murray wrote "Hitler's personality is an extreme example of the counteractive type," which was changed in the October version to "Hitler's personality is an example of …"
