“History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction. That’s why events are always reinterpreted when values change. We need new versions of history to allow for our current prejudices.” -Calvin, Calvin and Hobbes
[A rather cynical view of things, but one that is likely more correct than not for a lot of published historical accounts.]
