Richard Landwehr is the author of numerous books about the Waffen-SS, particularly the foreign volunteers, providing accounts of these men, their formations, and their battles.
In his 1997 book 'Revolutionary Armies in the Modern Era: A Revisionist Approach' (described as "too flawed to be recommended as an undergraduate text"[1]), historian S.P.
MacKenzie describes Landwehr as an "extreme admirer [from] the fringes of the far-right."
MacKenzie connects Landwehr with the contemporary Waffen-SS historical revisionism.
Commenting on this trend, Mackenzie writes that "as older generation of Waffen-SS scribes has died off, a new, post-war cadre of writers has done much to perpetuate the image of the force as a revolutionary European army" and includes Landwehr in this group.
