HISTORY IS FAKE // YOU NEED TO BE READING MORE HISTORY

The past is a foreign country, and our perception of it is dominated by an academic institution that has long abandoned true scholarship. In the mainstream, ideology is more important than truth; inconvenient truths are thrown into obscurity to fit the past into a neat, postmodern box. Dissent from this narrative is not allowed by historical journals or publishers.

The Dissident Review changes that. Publishing purely based on merit, Volume I collects the best historical writing and research you've never heard of. From the Dark Ages to occult history, premodern Ireland to 1980s Afghanistan, this edition collects seven groundbreaking essays and one never-before-seen translation, all aimed at providing a new vision of the past - a vision of vitality, inspiration, pride, and greatness.

The Dissident Review is proud to present Volume I: A Reclamation & Revitalization of the Past.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent work from a new publisher
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2023
The first volume of The Dissident Review is a grab-bag of various historical topics, all with the theme of providing a voice to a minority view of history. This volume has 8 articles:

1. The Myth of the Dark Ages
This article argues that the Medieval Period was not backwards (I knew this) but also that the Islamic Golden Age was due to the incorporation of Persians, Christians, and Jews into the Islamic Empire (I did not know this). Overall a very interesting article, and I would have liked to read an article about one of the many threads it picks up developed in more detail.

2. General William Walker
This article details the life of "filibusterer" William Walker and his unauthorized conquest of Nicaragua. I felt that this article, while good, was slightly underdeveloped.

3. History is Ever in a Flux
This was my least favorite article. It is essentially a discourse on historiography, but I felt that it was too brief to really satisfy. Rather than suggest other books for the audience to read, the article would've been better served if the author summarized the conclusions from those books himself.

4. On the Ancient Origins of the Irish Nation and the Poverty of Nationalist Modernism
I enjoyed this article, which is essentially the argument that ancient Ireland had developed a national identity over a thousand years ago.

5. Blowback
This article on intelligence operations in the Soviet-Afghan War might be better read as the intelligence failures in the Soviet-Afghan War by the US and the USSR, while the Pakistani and Saudi governments had a deceptively authoritative role in the radicalization of Afghanistan. I enjoyed this article, and despite it being the longest article in the volume, wish it had been longer.

6. An Empire of Magick
While this article is well-argued, I wasn't particularly interested in the topic, though that may be my aversion to the argument that statecraft involved mystical elements.

7. Socialism, Syncretism
This article was much denser than the others, and purported to argue that socialism was a corrupted version of Christian social doctrine, but never seemed to put the nail in the coffin.

8. Japanese Perspectives on the East Asian Conflict
This "article" is a translation of two articles from the 1930s that are a Japanese defense of the invasion of Manchuria to a European audience. While interesting, the translator fails to provide a preface with context to understand the specific references made by the two authors, and the overall piece would have been greatly improved by reworking it to more explicitly describe Japanese efforts to sanitize its invasion of Manchuria.

Overall, I quite enjoyed this collection, and look forward to future works from the Dissident Review.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but flawed
Reviewed in France on October 21, 2023
Verified Purchase
As the foreword of volume I claims, the Dissident Review aims to forego traditional academia and "offer a voice to those who wish to challenge the mainstream".
That is commendable, but some academic rigour would serve this publication well. Proofreading would be a good start, but there are also objective errors that are clearly ideologically motivated, like claiming that Muslims are solely responsible for burning the Library of Alexandria, when we know it happened several times at the hands of different armies.

That being said, this collection of essays does bring into focus interesting and little-known events and people, and for that, it could be worth a read.

Unrelated to the content, the printing quality from Amazon is quite poor. The title page is upside-down with a barcode partly showing, and the back cover has a weird shiny smudge.
