A Revisionist Reading List On WW I

Recently, someone asked me for a reading list for revisionist history of WW I.

1.) The Myth of a Guilty Nation — Albert Jay Nock

Nock demonstrates that the basis of the Versailles treaty, that Germany was uniquely guilty for starting WW I is an outright lie. Nock brings forth documents and quotes from politicians at the time that demonstrate that Germany indeed was not uniquely responsible for the war. Nock does not argue that Germany had no responsibility for the war though his work points in the direction of Germany being the nation aggressed against and not the aggressors.

2.) The Two Edwards; How King Edward VII & Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey Fomented The First World War — Peter Hof

Hof is convinced that the two Edwards secretly planned and arranged the war. Hof insists that both lied in order to steer the nation into war with Germany. Other books (Quigley especially) will suggest that all of this was part and parcel of Alfred Lord Milner’s conspiratorial work with the Round Table movement.

3.) World War One; A Short History — Norman Stone

Stone provides a quick read highlighting some of the more traditional understandings of the war. However, he also introduces some interesting “what ifs” along the way.

4.) Germany Not Guilty In 1914 – M. H. Cochran

This book is written in response to a prominent historian at the time Bernadotte Schmitt who had written a hatchet job of a book putting all the responsibility of the war upon Germany.

5.) Two World Wars & Hitler; Who Was Responsible — Dr. Jim Macgregor & Dr. John O’Dowd

6.) Hidden History; The Secret Origins of the First World War; Gerry Docherty & Jim Macgregor

7.) Prolonging the Agony: How the Anglo American Establishment Deliberately extended World War I by Three-and-a-Half Years; Jim Macgregor & Gerry Docherty
