Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The main problem with a historical text is that history is always written by the winner!. The accounts of all the wars in history are mostly told by one side and it is hard to get a real perspective!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You never know how accurate its writer is!. In many cases, facts are omited and opinions offered as fact, depending upon the author!. Its always best to get your information from as many textts as possible!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

- No point of view
- Sounds like a textbook not a person
- No vivid words on describing the battle
- A dozen of paragraphs about 1 thing you want to know
- You can't ask questionsWww@QuestionHome@Com

It's just not the same as being there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
