Kiedy własna racja przebiera się za prawdę

In brief

Aleteia Polska published an article by Michał Jędryka discussing how historical judgments can change when new evidence emerges.

The piece uses a historical example of a general accused of cowardice by historians. The article explains that the discovery of a previously unknown order in an archive changed the narrative, revealing that the general had received information about an impending encirclement. According to the report, the retreat was actually the only way to save the army from total destruction.
