Napoleon wrote: "L'histoire est une suite de mensonges sur lesquels on
est d'accord."
"History is a pack of lies that people agree on."
and: "L'histoire est un mensonge qui personne ne conteste."
"History is a lie that no one disputes." (02)
What Churchill is documented to have said is: "History will vindicate

All this notwithstanding, the study of history is still an avocation of
mine. (04)
