Robert Anton Wilson was deeply skeptical of the official account of World War II, and for example in this interview by Lewis Shiner, he said, "I'd also like to write a book about Pearl Harbor. The revisionist historians have been thoroughly slandered and are mostly out of print. I wouldn't be adding much original; I think everything worth saying has been said by Charles Beard and Harry Elmer Barnes and James J. Martin and a few others. But their books are out of print or hard to find. My book would be just one more effort against what Barnes called 'the historical blackout.' One more effort to put the facts on record." (Of course, the book was never written but this Jeff Riggenbach book, which I read years ago, has a similar intent).
RAW would perhaps be interested in Thaddeus Russell, a historian who has made World War II revisionism something of a specialty. Russell has a new Substack newsletter, with pieces such as "Even Hitler Wasn't Hitler" and "The Fate of the Free World Depends Upon You Liking Winston Churchill." All of the pieces so far have been previews -- you have to pay a few dollars to read the whole thing -- but enough is posted for free, you can get the idea.
Here is Jesse Walker's 2011 interview with Russell.
Here is a brief biography. He graduated from Antioch College, the university associated with Simon Moon in Illuminatus! Above is the image for one of his books, A Renegade History of the United States.
