Reviving a Revisionist: Clinton Hartley Grattan, Part 1

by Wendy McElroy

“C. Hartley Grattan (1902–1980) was a journalist, author, and polymath who many view as the foremost American scholar on Australia and the Pacific Southwest. To libertarians, however, Grattan should be important as a revisionist historian who was respected by decades of antiwar activists from H.L. Mencken to Murray N. Rothbard. Although Grattan is still occasionally discussed by anti-interventionists, such as the historian Justus D. Doenecke, Grattan has become largely a footnote. Indeed, I learned of him through three intriguing footnotes in Rothbard’s book The Betrayal of the American Right.” (01/21/26)
