Nostalgia is such a two-edged sword. At times it is a great weapon to preserve the past, and at other times a blinding force that prevents us from learning from that same past. I admit I tend to knee-jerk against it as I so often see its negative aspects, but recent research into it (as described in this NYT article) suggests there may be real, positive benefits as well. These are complexities any writer of history must try to understand.
