by politicized history you mean 'history is a lie'? I would submit that all history is like that to one degree or another. Perhaps not 'political' but what about 'relegious' or some other type of 'disinformation', can you spell climate change?
History....is pretty much a lie.
He who has the gold usually is one who writes the history.
Like the history of the American West.
And I was kind of agreeing with your point.....
