i think this is an important quote in understanding barnes motives etc for writing the novel

"History isn't what happened. History is just what historians tell us.
There was a pattern, a plan, a movement, expansion, the march of democracy;
it is a tapestry, a flow of events, a complex narrative, connected, explicable. One good story leads to another."
-- A History of the World in 10½ Chapters, 242.

Basically, history is what we have been told and not always truth. Love to elaborate but cant be arsed
