There is no such thing as neutral, objective history because in the end someone, somewhere, selected this or that fact and placed it front and center as being the most significant. In some instances, the fact wasn't there to begin with however. Here is a particular example of that, as presented by Robert Wuhl in a slightly less conventional way. While he is not a professional historian, that's the point: not just professional historians control the use (and abuse) of history.
How we get the end product when it comes to history is not always clear cut nor straight forward. Taking advantage of some of these twists and turns, assertions and omissions, this program seeks to challenge assumptions about what we accept as being true in history.
Thanks to a "history fan" for bringing
