The purpose of most books (like this book or by a similar author or topic) is to sell books and entertain. The value to most readers is not knowing the truth but to be engaged and entertained. Similar to movies
based on real events (which take liberties with happenings and story telling to make the movie interesting and watchable and profitable).
