Hvordan døde Alex Aberg?

aleksander-aberg-tittel

Jeg bestemte meg for å begynne 2020 ved å bruke to eksempler fra profesjonell bryting for å diskutere hvorfor du ville endre en historisk beretning du skrev tidligere. I å skrive historie, du er begrenset av tilgjengelige kilder om emnet. Primære kilder som dagbøker, offisielle opptegnelser og selvbiografier er svært verdifulle.
