'Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunter' - Nigerian proverb
'This proverb undermines the idea of "objective" history. It's all too easy to think that bias in history is bad, and that objectivity is good. But objectivity is usually a euphemism for the history of the victors, or the history of the hunters. What would an objective history of the Iraq war look like?
