History is written by other side as well. Unfortunately layman does not bother to read/listen alternatives.

Historians have no problem incorporating reliable documents written by the "other side". You just have to understand the context that it was written in.

However, all the "alternative" history I've looked at has ended up being fan fiction, with no real supporting evidence.
