Historical Revisionism and the
Legacy of George Orwell
uring the Second World War, George Orwell wrote a weekly
radio political commentary, designed to counter German and
Japanese propaganda in India, that was broadcast over the BBC
overseas service. His wartime work for the BBC was a major in-
spiration for his monumental novel, 1984. Very few readers of
1984 know, for example, that Orwell's attack against the perverse
double-talk language called Newspeak was based on the author's
revulsion against Basic English, an artificial language that
Churchill's wartime cabinet wanted the BBC to use in its overseas
propaganda. Similarly, Orwell's model for the lying Ministry of
Truth was the British wartime Ministry of Information, which
censored BBC broadcasts. The shorthand form, Minitrue, was
taken directly from the Ministry of Information telegraphic ad-
dress, Miniform.
Throughout his lifetime, the great English writer continually
questioned all "official" or "accepted" versions of history. As
early as
1945,
just after the end of the war in Europe, he expressed
doubts about the widespread stories of "gas oven" exterminations
[Notes on Nationalism). George Orwell was a revisionist. He
detested officially sanctioned atrocity and hate propaganda. If he
were alive today he would certainly be nauseated by the pervasive
Holocaust propaganda of our times. And as a staunch lifelong
supporter of free speech and open historical inquiry, he would un-
doubtedly defend the right of revisionist historians to present their
challenging views to the world.
It is worth noting that last July's devastating fire-bomb attack
against the offices of the Institute for Historical Review, the
foremost center of dissident historical inquiry, took place during
the year made immortal by 1984. The terrorist attack also forced
the rescheduling of the revisionist conference dedicated to
Orwell's memory. Symbolically, the July fire-bombing of the In-
stitute was an attack against the spirit of George Orwell in our
times.
Life in the western world today differs markedly from what
Orwell suggested it might be like in 1984. In contrast to the
squalid, puritanical and thoroughly regimented life of 1984's
Oceania, American life today is increasingly anarchic and self-
indulgent. But there are also many ominous similarities. Decep-
tive "Newspeak" terms are in wide use today. One of the most
odious examples is "affirmative action" which, despite its benign
