It's an important literary and cultural benchmark if you want to comprehend history and the 'history of history'

To ask if it is relevant means you never read it

I’ve read it and as I learnt more, have come to loathe it for giving wrong conclusions. Kinda like watching CNN that shows part of the truth and pushes the narrative in a completely wrong direction.

You are right, I didn’t read it largely because I wasn’t interested in picking through propaganda. I can see why someone would be interested in the (British version of) “history of history” but I am more interested in the evidence of historical events.
