The Truth in History : A 5 page paper on the essay by
Edward Hallett Carr entitled, The Historian and His Facts.
The essay examines some interesting points in regards to
history and whether much of it is actual truth or simply an
interpretation of the facts set before the historian. Carr sets
the reader up to question any and all history they have ever
been exposed to. While some facts may undoubtedly be true,
all history is essentially someone else’s account of the
events. Everyone has their own perspective and analysis of
any given event and this is bound to influence how history is
recorded. Ecarr.wps
