The Journal of Historical Review - cover

Volume Eight · Number One · Spring 1988

It used to be the publishing flagship of the revisionist community, but it ceased to exist in 2002 for a number of reasons, mismanagement and lack of dedication being some of them. CODOH mirrors the old papers that were published in that journal.
