And just how do you single out those books which contain just the "truth" and no "subjective twists"? What basis do you have for even thinking that such books exist?

Of course, no one can be perfectly objective. However, blatant bias is not that hard to spot. Primary sources of evidence are the key, of course. Secondary sources are more prone to bias and inaccuracy. There is a correct interpretation of evidence and an incorrect interpretation of evidence. All differing accounts of the same event cannot be true (law of contradiction comes into play). That is precisely why historiography is an important part of being an historian.
Like all other disciplines these days, history is rife with postmodern relativism - and it's a false way of looking at the world. Truth exists.
