History-writing is necessarily fiction, necessarily ideological self-justification, necessarily myth-making. What else should I read besides pic related if I'm interested in historiography as a tool of narrative manipulation, inseparably entrenched in ideology?

History is necessarily fiction, necessarily couched in an overarching narrative, and necessarily an exercise in ideological self-justification.

>All of history-writing is necessarily an exercise in ideological self-justification, too

Is this statement correct? What other books talk about the inseparable nature of politics and history-writing?
