Produktbeschreibung
In every situation of conflict, impartiality sinks under the heaps of arguments, debates, and facts, so much, that one cannot do justice or right to any party, thus becoming themselves uncertain. The result has been, that instead of the job of the historian being similar to that of the judge, who checks all the evidence before attributing right and wrong, the vogue of our times has marginalized fact and truth, and attributed to the relative narrative of each party equal validity. This volume attempts, at least, to balance the picture by presenting the story while sorting out real events, even when depicted imaginatively, from imagined and at times demonstratively manufactured narratives which have no relation to the real world. Still, no objectivity can be claimed, for only inanimate objects have no feelings or any emotional or cultural luggage. But at least an effort is being made to address both parties' sensitivities and convictions.
