Gabriel Morris Kolko (August 17, 1932 – May 19, 2014) was an American historian.[2] His research interests included American capitalism and political history, the Progressive Era, and U.S. foreign policy in the 20th century.[3] One of the best-known revisionist historians to write about the Cold War,[4] he was also credited as "an incisive critic of the Progressive Era and its relationship to the American empire."[5][6] U.S. historian Paul Buhle summarized Kolko's career when he described him as "a major theorist of what came to be called Corporate Liberalism...[and] a very major historian of the Vietnam War and its assorted war crimes."[7]
