Gabriel Morris Kolko (August 17, 1932 - May 19, 2014) was an American historian. His research interests included American capitalism and political history, the Progressive Era, and U.S. foreign policy in the 20th century. One of the best-known revisionist historians to write about the Cold War, he had also been credited as "an incisive critic of the Progressive Era and its relationship to the American empire." Kolko's thesis "that businessmen favored government regulation because they feared competition and desired to forge a government-business coalition" is one that is echoed by many observers today. The Politics of War, was described as "the most thorough and extensive of the 'revisionist' views of American foreign policy during World War II." Derived from a Kirkus review: The roots of American postwar foreign policy, examined in terms of origin, evolution, and ultimate premises. Professor Kolko moves from domestic American history to the international arena in a detailed account of America's participation in power politics that culminated in Potsdam and Yalta. Beginning with 1943--because previously the Allies were engrossed in military rather than political maneuvers--Kolko relates the conflicts that strained the Anglo-American alliance: What emerges is a view of the American stance as conservative and, in effect, somewhat blind to the ideological changes that were imminent. Kolko's scholarship is exhaustive--(it is a long book for two interim years) and many of his conclusions are new. Anglo-American wrangling is well-known, but the degree of disagreement (they shared only the policy of anti-communism) will startle Kolko's readers, an academic audience, as will some of his observations about the origins of the cold war.
