Since the losers don't get to write the history books that is unlikely.

Did you see that series on the History Channel about our history from the Native Americans point of view? Very interesting and eye opening.

It is as it always has been. Pretty hard to write and keep your history when you're ground to dust under the feet of your conquerer.

We live in quite a different world now though. Its getting harder to hide the truth thankfully. It's still far from perfect.

Have not seen a book with that point of view. If you watch The history of beer it reveals the other perspective.

"History is written by the victors. -- Winston Churchill.

It's rare when completely objective observers are the ones documenting history.
Unfortunate, but true.

You haven't studied the Civil War much, have you?

I had a history professor in college who told us that history is based on one-sided facts. Essentially, what we know about history has been told from one perspective or similar perspectives (the winning side as you put it), and it's the job of historians to research these civilizations and conflicts to come up with their own understanding of what happened. If enough historians agree on something, then that becomes a "historical fact." Up until then, I thought history was set in stone and always true, but historians always need to question our past to make sure it is accurate.

Can you give an example of what you mean by the "winner?"

Don't think you will ever find it in the same book.
The truth is generally harder to get.
