From Metapedia

Harry Elmer Barnes (June 15, 1889 – August 25, 1968) was an American historian, criminologist, sociologist and economist. He was one of the most influential Historical revisionists. Barnes authored and edited many books which questioned and contradicted the viewpoint that Germany was solely guilty for starting World War I.

Following World War II, Barnes began to investigate American involvement in the war. Barnes intial focus concerning World War Two was in regard to the Attack on Pearl Harbor.

Around 1960 Barnes first read the works of Paul Rassinier, a prominent French Socialist who had been interned at Buchenwald-Dora during the War. Rassinier's books, published originally in French, disputed whether the Germans had a policy to exterminate the Jews of Europe. Rassiner argued that there were no gas chambers at Buchenwald or elsewhere.

In 1961, Barnes oversaw the publication of David Hoggan's Der Erzwungene Krieg.

In 1968, Barnes had a heart-attack in his Malibu home where he died.

Barnes research papers and letters are housed at the library of the University of Wyoming at Laramie.

In 1994, Willis A. Carto established a Revisionist journal named after Barnes, The Barnes Review.
