Not by me, Keith! I believe your views, and those of any historians, are part of the picture but do not believe that they are definitive. I have explained in detail elsewhere but, for the record once again, I believe that all historians colour their findings in a way that suits them. There is no such thing as an unbiased view of history.

As to 'where else should we go to learn about History?'. Well, time and again we have proved that we do not not learn from history. The same mistakes are made over and over again. The study of history appears to be very academic and, as far as the real world goes, pretty pointless.
