[HW3]

Any book that is written 25 years after the events took place is bound to not be 100% accurate. Does that mean it should be classed as pure fiction and not worth reading? Does it mean it is 100% gospel truth not to doubted at all? The answer is no on both accounts. It really is a shame that all humans do not have photographic memories, and can remember all the little details that happened to them 25 years ago, exactly as they happened. I, quite frankly, am glad that a few of the men who were there, took the time to set down and write of their experiences. By doing so, they add the human factor to the dry facts that can be found in the archives of the various nations involved. Are their memories 100% accurate? Probably not but, who are we, who weren't there, to judge them for it? Read the books and remember, these are the memories of men far removed from the time the events they write about took place, and cut them a little slack if they do get something wrong.
