The phrase “writers of history” refers to illegitimate historians who falsely document historical events. Usually, this is done to portray their own group/country in a more positive manner. These illegitimate historians may also erase historical documentation or portray another group/country in a negative manner. Broadly, this is in the definition of Historical negationism. Generally, when a group is conquered by another and has the resources to to tell the history these “writers of history” go into effect.
