Revisionist history

June 24th, 2003 · No Comments

I know that President Bush’s decision to tar those people who would examine the reasons why we invaded Iraq in light of the facts as they emerge as revisionist historians would stick in a lot of craws, being that it’s disrespectful to historians and to people who actually care about the truth. So I was just waiting for a real historian to write an op-ed explaining exactly what revisionist history is, and why there isn’t really any other kind.
