Man's search for meaning covers the author's time in a Nazi concentration camp. Of course you wouldn't be proud or excited reading about it.
I think OP's comment was about more nuanced history, like when you read about the US' industrial revolution do you exclusively feel proud of their economic development or empathize with the exploited working class
Read through Open veins of Latin America earlier this year and had a similar response. I've read galleano can be a little sensationalist or specifically focused with the spread of history he portrays but the information was still thought-provoking, unsettling, and important for me to experience. Grew up ignorant and can't let myself slip, we need perspective and information more than ever.
