Believe A1R3K when he says that the actual history is nothing like what they teach you in high school. Not even close. Not only that, but the whole situation is not even close to being as "historical" as we would like, & there's a lot of things still happening even today that many people are not aware of.

That's true.
History books on the same topic will depend on the authors and paradigms under which they were written.
I'd like to read text books talking about WWII from a German perspective and compare and contrast the accounts of the same situations with American textbooks.
Depending on the paradigm, some things are sugar coated and other things are demonized. The only what to know what has happened in a situation is to have been there yourself.
