There are far more historians trying to dig up the real truth than ever before in history. Some are revisionist.Some are honestly tring to find truth, but are labeled revisinist anyway.As in all things, youmust consider the source, and decide if thay have an agenda beyond truth.As in all things, if you have your own agenda, you won’t believe the truth.
I always judged the quality of my history class by the number of presidents listed in the back of the book and weather or not the map of the world still had USSR and east/west Germany. Some times I would look and it would list Jimmy Carter as the current President. If I ever saw less then 50 Stars on an American Flag you knew the class was in trouble.
All most history is written as if it never really happened. I threw Herodotus across the room a couple times, so he’d behave his self. He didn’t, and yet I had to keep reading on.
Sorry NG can’t trust post tramatic stress historian on anything but actual cause of the stress. Z his self is good case study; he was there; he never left.

Two truisms of history: the victorious write history books, and people never learn from history.

I would imagine that in Llewellyn’s history books, St. George is a war criminal
