Welcome to the Protectors of Historical Truth

Hello everybody,

Welcome to the bastion of Historical truth. I hope thats how it will work out anyway. Not only will this blog contain posts that combat particular historical fallacies, it will also scrutinise common fallacies of argumentation used in both legitimate historical works, and newspapers, magazine, the web and all the other places people write about History.

Most readers and writers of History will have come across historical fallacies as they trawl the great sea of literature. Sometimes it will actually annoy them enough to try to overturn that fallacy in the public mind by writing a riposte. I hope that those people will use this blog to further the cause of Historical accuracy in its eternal struggle against myth, carelessness, special pleading, wayward argumentation and plain lying.

Tally ho!
