Synopsis
A classic essay on the distortions of history that occur when historians impose a rigid point of view on the study of the past., A classic essay on the distortions of history that occur when historians impose a rigid point of view on the study of the past.

And, in his search for origins and causes, he can easily select those facts that give support to his thesis and thus eliminate other facts equally important to the total picture., It is not as easy to understand the past as many who have written it would have us believe.
