Harry Elmer Barnes was in his time a world renowned historian, but courageously took on the mantle of Green Martyrdom for the truth. He sought to expose the lies of political and business interests in dragging nations into war. In this particular work "The Genesis of the World War: An Introduction to the Problem of War Guilt" we see one of the finest volumes of revisionism in the English language. Using primary sources Barnes deftly dismantles Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles war-guilt clause and places blame firmly on the Franco-Russian alliance. Anyone wishing to be familiar with revisionist literature broadly and WW1 revisionist literature more narrowly must be familiar with this work.
