Still in original shrink wrap!! (Hard to list as \'New\' when it\'s 34 years old).Revisionist giant Harry Elmer Barnes is at his battling best in these essays and reviews on the Second World War, and on the \"Cold War\" with the Soviet Union that soon followed. Professor Barnes takes passionate issue with the writings of his historian colleagues, whether in the academy or (increasingly) in the Pentagon and the CIA, on the causes, conduct, and results of America\'s \"crusade\" against Germany and Japan. Stern assessments of the establishment accounts, from Walter Millis to William Shirer, that laid the groundwork for today\'s wrongheaded history, and vital reviews of the studies that refute them, including A. J. P. Taylor\'s Origins of the Second World War and David Hoggan\'s Erzwungene Krieg (Forced War). Aimed at Cold War America\'s march toward global embroilment and a \"new world order,\" these \"Essays against Interventionism\" hit home amidst harum-scarum U.S. involvement all around the planet. American intellectual giant Harry Elmer Barnes - historian, sociologist, criminologist, journalist, and controversialist without peer was, for over half a century, our country\'s leading voice for avoiding unnecessary wars through objective study of their causes. A pioneer in the Revisionist school of history, Barnes evaded the snares by which \"conservatives\" and \"liberals\' alike have been lured into fighting one costly war, \"conflict\" or \"police action\" after another during this century. A bolt of lightning against the establishment\'s historical blackout, Barnes had the courage to find and reveal the facts on how our government lied us into two world wars once upon a time when almost all Americans trusted their leaders, and his and was a prescient voice in the wilderness against our involvement in the Korean and Vietnam quagmires. These nine classic essays are Barnes at his best. Informed, passionate, more relevant than ever, they show how the twentieth century\'s equivalent of the corrupt court historians of despots past erected a glittering facade of lies to hide the hollowness of America\'s \"victories\" in the two world wars, then used the false arguments that got us into those wars to inflict a post- 1945 \"perpetual war for perpetual peace\" warfare state on three generations of Americans who have come of age since. As current as today\'s headlines, Barnes Against the Blackout is must reading for every American concerned to keep our country strong, free, and at peace. ISBN 0-939484-37-4.
