LEFT: The Revisionists of the Second World War analyzed Franklin Roosevelt's foreign policies which were said to be a "back door to war."  Many made the case that Roosevelt not only had foreknowledge of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, but that he desired the attack and may have even instigated it in order to get the U.S. involved in the war in Europe against Hitler.

RIGHT: Harry Elmer Barnes wrote an essay on a subject never made public by the U.S. government.  He was the first Revisionist to explain that Japan had made an offer of surrender, on the same terms as those accepted on V-J Day, six months before the dropping of atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  "Hiroshima: Assault on a Beaten Foe," National Review (May 10, 1958).  [Public Domain photo from the National Archives.]
