I don't believe it is such a hard task to identify that which attempts
to revise history to one's own agenda and throw in political correctness
for good measure and we have it pretty well "nailed down."  The term is
quiet frequently used in identifying persons who traffic in this
trade.........look around......see or read of any?

I think that, save when used as a term of art in discourse between
professional historiographers and historians, the term "revisionist" is
pejorative.  That is to say, it is used to disparage the work of
scholars with whom one happens to disagree.

My comment here is quite subjective.  This is just an impression, and
hence not a comment I wish to advance with any special claim to
authority.

All best,
