Alan John Percivale Taylor (March 25, 1906 - September 7, 1990) was a renowned English historian of the 20th century. He was probably the best-known British historian of the century and certainly one of the most controversial. Wikipedia
An argument along these lines was advanced by A.J.P. Taylor in his revisionist book The Origins of the Second World War, published in 1961. www.orange.k12.oh.us/teachers/ohs/tshreve/apwebpage/readi...
The Gttingen archivist and Hans-Gnther Seraphim is by no means a
revisionist in the sense that Taylor is, to say nothing of Hoggan. www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil/airchronicles/aureview/1969/j...
Taylor moved on to the Bootham School, York, and was, at the
end of his time there (1924) awarded a scholarship by Oriel
College, Oxford. www.age-of-the-sage.org/history/historian/A_J_P_Taylor.html
At this point, I have to mention
that The Railroad Theory may or may not be put forth first by Taylor. www.ae.metu.edu.tr/~evren/history/texts/taylor1.htm
