I feel skeptical to read about history of anything or anyone. People are complex entities. We have rational and emotional/irrational habits/reactions ...etc. Generally, historians look at the documents left or recorded and construct some picture. But I feel, no one or no entity records every emotion, every reaction, every action they do or involve ...etc. So there will always gaps/holes and there will always be unknown unknowns. Sometimes, we feel, we reached conclusions and may be awards are given and after few years, some new leads open up and it may change whatever we know till then making us feel like fools to trust in the beginning. Then there are many, who won't record anything, no trace at all. We are around 7 billion people now approximately and how much we record daily about ourselves for others i.e. future historians? I feel recording for future historians is overhead. Writing diary for yourself is different thing altogether. So in conclusion, please do not conclude whatever you read as final w.r.t history even though it may be detailed or how well it may be written. There are always unknown unknowns. Take whatever useful in your life and leave the rest may be the optimal approach towards history, if really required. Otherwise, in general scenario i.e. for daily life, just ignore history.
