You made the staterment; I suggest you give the data to back it.
Any history is biassed, depending on both the knowledge and the opinions of the
writer. That's why historians consult multiple sources. (And yes, they are a
discipline in the non-science field with tight and reputable methodology.) But
there's a hell of a lot of propaganda in histories, particularly those with
economic content.
