Throughout the book, the authors are continually demonstrating how the historian must assess the reliability of the available evidence. Documentary evidence, paintings, photographs and other types of evidence are all produced from the point of view of their creators. This point of view must be accounted for when looking for a "true" account of historical events as they actually happened.
