In order to protect their good names for posterity, many writers never wrote what they thought or the truth as it stood. That's why truth still lies hidden in matters of power, sex and religion. No wonder they chose to do so, many who dared paid with their heads

About This Quote

Many of the writers who were involved in writing about the history of their countries were reluctant to tell the whole truth on certain issues. These writers used what was called, “plausible deniability”, to cover their tracks on many historical events. The writer would say that he had no knowledge of what was really happening, but that he would make up an acceptable story for his readers. Another reason why the writers did not want to tell the truth is because of the fear of losing their jobs or of getting into trouble with the government.
