Keith, All through your comments here you have stated that ........ all previous Historians were either left wing, subversive, has their own axe to grind etc etc."


Most supporting the "revisionist" view of history (i.e. those writing between 1928 and 1969) did fall into the categories described by Raggytash above. A.J.P.Taylor, Liddell Hart, Fuller, Lloyd George, Churchill, and Alan Clark. Post 1970 their work and their point of view on the war have been vigorously challenged in the light of new and more detailed information becoming available from all combatant nations.

OWALW - Joan Littlewood was hardly a pro-establishment right winger. Neither was that prat of a Labour MP who said that OWALW was "part me, part Liddell Hart and the rest Lenin"

They brought politics into it Muppets.
