Niall Ferguson isn’t very revisionist. If you read his book on WW2, War of the World, it’s an endorsement of the long held view that the Allies should have acted sooner against Germany, and that the bombing of Axis cities helped the Allied war effort. He does not equate bombing with the Axis slaughter of civilians. He specifically says otherwise in his book. He characterized Germany’s demands as an attempt at world domination.

Ferguson is a very thought-provoking historian, not anti-Western at all, and deserves to be read.

Now, his view of WW1 is not orthodox, but to say he’s in the same boat with people who condemn the Allied war effort in WW2 is not accurate.
