Clio,I assume you mean Gabriel Kolko and the like. Libertarian historians, like Murray Rothbard, discovered these guys and love to cite them. Interesting bedfellows.I am sure the world is full of dedicated historians who love the past for what it is, not for the ways in which it can send some useful message. The problem, I think, is that the struggle to be one of the few historians whose work affects those who are not historians is intense, and it not always won by the former class. Or by the most scrupulous in general.BTW, I'm working my way through Paul Scott on your recommendation...
