Some of it's surprisingly accurate, but like all ancient histories, they weren't operating by the same rules of evidence as modern historians, and most of it's authors were biased.
A lot of good historical research has been done in recent years by biblical scholars, especially as concerns the events and times of the New Testament writings. Perhaps a separate thread would be a good idea. I'm sure this isn't the thread for it.
