Gabriel Kolko (17 de agosto de 1932 - 19 de mayo de 2014) fue un historiador y escritor estadounidense. Sus intereses de investigación incluyen el capitalismo americano y la historia política, la Era Progresista, y la política exterior de los EE.UU. en el siglo 20.[1]​ Uno de los historiadores revisionistas más conocidos por escribir sobre la Guerra Fría,[2]​ también ha sido acreditado como "un crítico incisivo de la Era Progresista y su relación con el imperio estadounidense".[3][4]​ El historiador de EE.UU. Paul Buhle resume la carrera de Kolko cuando él lo describió como un tanto teórico de lo que vino a llamarse el liberalismo corporativo, y como historiador de la guerra de Vietnam y sus crímenes de guerra surtidos".[5]

Consultado el 22 de mayo de 2014. «When I arrived in Madison in 1967, even several of the old socialist pamphlets in the Wis State Historical Society had “Gaby Kolko” scrawled on the title page. He donated when leaving campus.He was a major theorist of what came to be called Corporate Liberalism, the corporate control of the liberal agenda, but he was also a very major historian of the Vietnam War and its assorted war crimes, etc. With a small handful of other writers, William Appleman Williams at the top of the list, Kolko pointed away from the Cold War liberalism of Arthur Schlesinger Jr and others, then dominant in the historical profession, who worked quietly with the CIA while trumpeting their fidelity to free ideas. These Cold Warriors had effaced the traditions of Charles Beard, and Kolko along with Williams restored Beard, the best of both Charles and Mary Beard, in the process.»
