The Dissident Review Vol. I
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 A Reclamation & Revitalization of the Past .

Dissident Review produced a great set of essays on this first outing. They're well-curated, dealing with historical topics institutional academics ignore either due to deficiencies in the academic discipline or cultural blind spots (who thinks of war as a test of cultural values these days? who wants to reckon with the implications of anglo-espionage beginning with a cadre of occultists?).
Authors are usually anons, and they run the gamut. You will find competing views and assertions in this volume. There is no ideological uniformity outside the absence of leftoid drivel. It makes for a good time of reading. I cracked this open intending to read an essay a night and ended up devouring it in three sittings.
The introduction states "Merit will once again be able to speak for itself." The Dissident Review has succeeded in giving merit voice. I look forward to hearing her louder and clearer in the forthcoming volumes.
