I remember stumbling on more academic criticism somewhere but I'm honestly just too lazy to find it :)
Really I think the more interesting thing to point out and discuss is that history is written by people, with ideologies, for reasons. When we examine history we need to ensure we try to do so from a variety of perspectives and with an open mind as even the best scholars making their best efforts to be fair will not describe history objectively. That is an impossible task.
At best we can hope to identify where interpretations are disputed and what the reasons for that are. E.g. lack of evidence, value differences, political motives etc.
Especially recent history. For an instance it took three hundred years for the french monarchy to recognize how Jean d'Arc wasn't a witch and saved France.
