I never trust historians even 50 years after the fact when it comes to war.
Everything is muddled and half-lies and secrecy to thwart the enemy during wars. You can't trust anything.
Let alone Homer writing about the Trojan War 500 years later.
War is all about lies and deception and propaganda.
History of warfare is a half-truth read.
But I'd rather trust the personal recollections of the men who were actually there, than historians.

I've read all of the biographies and autobiographies about Easy company I could find and the biggest complaint that they have is the Webster was kind of a douchebag that no one liked and his autobiography was very inaccurate. The stories of all of the other members of Easy are all consistent. Winters said before his death that he felt Sobel was not as incompetent as portrayed in BoB.
