BARNES AGAINST
THE BLACKOUT
Essays Against Interventionism
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 traps and 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 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,

BARNES AGAINST
THE BLACKOUT
Essays Against Interventionism

two world wars once upon a time when almost all Americans
trusted their leaders, 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 today, they show how the
twentieth century's equivalent of the 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 "perpetual war
for perpetual peace" 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. Vissza
