"History is Written by Victors.” The quote gets attributed to Winston Churchill, but its origins are unknown. It implies that history is not grounded in facts, rather it's the winners' interpretation of them that prevails. The victors can force their narrative down on the people. "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." -- Mark Twain Have you heard those quotes before? I'm not arguing that this proves Lewis is correct, just that those quotes seem fitting for this moment. You should really stop calling someone's father dishonest or trying to tell someone they misunderstanding something to which you don't have a single connection. That's going to get you into trouble someday. You should stick to your own family interpretations.
