James Joseph Martin (1916-2004)

Revisionist Historian, libertarian, and individualist anarchist


Best known for his work on the history of American individualist anarchism, Men Against the State (1953) and American Liberalism and World Politics, 1931-1941 (1964). Harry Elmer Barnes called it "unquestionably the most formidable achievement of World War II Revisionism."
