  • Harry Elmer Barnes As Revisionist of the Cold War
    Harry Elmer Barnes as Revisionist of the Cold War di Murray N. Rothbard I. The War State and the Court Intellectuals Americans like to think of themselves as a progressive people living in a progressive age. And yet the twentieth century – whatever its marvels – has been above all the century of total war. Despite the fact that technological advance has made total war increasingly absurd and grotesque in an era of nuclear warfare; despite the progress of preceding centuries in civilizing and limiting warfare, and in keeping civilians out of harm’s way; war to the death has returned in full flower. Herbert Spencer brilliantly realized that the advance of mankind from barbarism to civilization could be summed up as a shift from “military” to “industrial” society. Yet, in the twentieth century, we have starkly reverted to the military way; in so doing, we have repudiated the very humanism, the very principles of peace and freedom, upon which a modern industrial system ineluctably rests. This has truly been, in the words of Harry Elmer Barnes’ friend and revisionist colleague, F. J. P. Veale, an “advance to barbarism.” The contemporary reversion to the savagery of a Genghis Khan – to a garrison state, to military conformity, to mass murder of civilians, to scorched earth and unconditional surrender, has been achieved through the quest for power and its perquisites by the ruling groups, the “power elites,” of the various States. These consist of the full-time members and rulers of the State apparati , as well as those groups in society (e. g., arms contractors, labor-union leaders) who benefit from the military and warfare systems.

  • Brigitte Bailer-Galanda “Revisionism”1 in Germany and Austria: the Evolution of a Doctrine
    www.doew.at Brigitte Bailer-Galanda “Revisionism”1 in Germany and Austria: The Evolution of a Doctrine Published in: Hermann Kurthen/Rainer Erb/Werner Bergmann (ed.), Anti-Sem- itism and Xenophobia in Germany after Unification, New York–Oxford 1997 Development of “revisionism” since 1945 Most people understand so called „revisionism“ as just another word for the movement of holocaust denial (Benz 1994; Lipstadt 1993; Shapiro 1990). Therefore it was suggested lately to use the word „negationism“ instead. How- ever in the author‘s point of view „revisionism“ covers some more topics than just the denying of the National Socialist mass murders. Especially in Germany and Austria there are some more points of National Socialist politics some people have tried to minimize or apologize since 1945, e. g. the responsibility for World War II, the attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 (quite a modern topic), (the discussion) about the number of the victims of the holocaust a. s. o.. In the seventies the late historian Martin Broszat already called that movement „run- ning amok against reality“ (Broszat 1976). These pseudo-historical writers, many of them just right wing extremist publishers or people who quite rapidly turned to right wing extremists, really try to prove that history has not taken place, just as if they were able to make events undone by denying them. A conception of “negationism” (Auerbach 1993a; Fromm and Kernbach 1994, p. 9; Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz 1994) or “holocaust denial” (Lipstadt 1993, p. 20) would neglect the additional components of “revision- ism”, which are logically connected with the denying of the holocaust, this being the extreme variant.

  • Harry Elmer Barnes Historical Review and the Effects of Historical Revisionism
    Hilgartner, “Harry Elmer Barnes” 19 Harry Elmer Barnes Historical Review and the effects of Historical Revisionism Jacob Hilgartner Harry Elmer Barnes remains a controversial figure and is a prime example of historical revisionism and the effects it can have on historical works. Harry E. Barnes would start his career as an American historian who focused on a broad range of subjects in terms of social conflicts and would deliver works on everything from criminology to American foreign policy.1 He was known for the great volume and speed with which he produced publications. His work A History of Western Civilization (1935) would be mentioned in the New York Times Book Review section’s front page.2 His works would find publishers such as Knopf, Prentice-Hall, and Century avidly seeking their distribution. Other well-regarded writers of the time such as Heywood Braun, and Sinclair Lewis would often include Barnes in their intellectual circles. Barnes became one of Americas most sought-after lecturers of the 1920-1930s.3 Evidently, Barnes was not a pariah from the outset, nor was he an entrenched conservative ideologue. Barnes himself would have been viewed as a progressive even by todays standard, with many of his works advocating equality for woman and for the African American communities, whose treatment by the American state was a stain on the ideals of liberty it tried to espouse.4 He was a staunch opponent of prohibition and advocated for a reworking of prison reform, a reworking of drug use legislation, and the abolition of sexual taboo laws. 5 However, his anti-interventionist stance in the 1940s derailed his career.

  • Lawrence Dennis and the Coming of World War 11*
    The Isolationist as Collectivist: Lawrence Dennis and the Coming of World War 11* by Justus D. Doenecke Departmenr of History, New College of the University of South Florida To most historians, and to much of the general public as well, the name of the late Lawrence Dennis has long been associated with American "fascism." Arthur S. Link calls him "the intellectual leader and principal adviser of the fascist groups." Charles C. Alexander sees him as "the leading intellectual fascist in America." When Dennis's thought is treated in depth, it is usually in the context of anti-democratic political philosophy and elitist theory.' Beginning in the sixties, some commentators have started to refer to Dennis in slightly more appreciative terms. In 1960 Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., while arguing that Dennis's formulas were both authoritarian and romantic, claimed that "his analysis cut through sentimental idealism with healthy effect." In 1969 Frederick L. Schuman, a "popular front" advocate who had debated Dennis in the 1930's, went much further, declaring that his pleas for isolation "would probably have contributed more to the welfare, health and survival of the human race than the course which Washington policy makers did in fact pursue . since 1917." Then, beginning in 1972, historians started to find Dennis a forerunner of Cold War revisionism, with Ronald Radosh calling him America's "earliest and most consistent critic of the Cold War." To Radosh, Dennis's stress on market factors alone shows the man's perception.' Despite such fresh examination, scholars have not yet described, much less explained, Dennis's reaction to the rise of the Axis powers, and to the outbreak of World War 11.

(April 2001) Jami Lee John Department of English Texas A&M University Fellows Advisor: Dr. David Myers Department of English This honors thesis argues that the literature of Holocaust negationism is a repackaging of classical antisemitism. The propositional content of negationist discourse is less significant, I argue, than its rhetoric. And its rhetoric unmasks the truth about negationism: its primary concern is not the Holocaust at all, but an "international Jewish conspiracy" that is behind the "Holocaust hoax. " It is a bad mistake, then, for liberal academics and scholars to treat negationism as merely "the other side" of the "Holocaust story, " and to protect its right to a hearing. The reality
