To be fair though, there ARE peer reviewed academic papers on Churchill that focus on all aspects of the man's life and not the "censored for patriotism" public image version, as with pretty much everything else related to WWII, it's just that those discussions usually remain in academic circles where people can view them objectively and critically, and aren't thrown around on Twitter and morning telly for Piers and the viewing public to get wound up about
. And to be fair, there's nothing wrong with that, and there's nothing to be gained in airing these things for people who don't want to delve into real history and prefer the "edited for public consumption" version... but then likewise, that's no reason to argue that real history
simply doesn't exist.
