Do you read books Nigel. Does the person who writes a history book for example have to experienced personally the events they write about. The shelves would be much emptier if that was the case.
I read many books. I do not accept that anything in 'black and white' is actually the truth. If you have that belief then you are more of a fool than I took you for. Serious histories will often have bibliographies giving links to first hand accounts if they wish the details to be taken as accurate.
I hope you don't believe that Richard Sharpe was instrumental in British victories in the Peninsular wars (and others)
