"A book like this is people recalling events from many decades earlier to the best of their ability. And the tricky thing about memory is that it isn't what happened, it's what you remember happening, which is not quite the same thing and gets distorted over time. So when you look at something like this, you just need to keep that in mind. It's more or less what happened from a certain point of view and within a certain margin of error."
