Partly for the bibliographic record, we have begun a preliminary list of some key Revisionist titles spanning several subjects.
Although it has been argued that revisionism is as old as history itself, here we will begin with the First World War. The first
group of revisionists sought to revise the harsh Treaty of Versailles. That early generation of Revisionists led to subsequent
generations who were skeptical of "official" stories, quick to identify propaganda, and determined that cutting through the lies
of governments and "official" histories would not only lead to the truth, but ultimately to peace among nations.
