"only part most people are familiar with" implies that most people in the world are aware of the quote, which isn't the case. I suppose the intended meaning is "this is the most quoted line from the book".

Unreliable Narrator is a literary technique in which the author presents the story through the eyes of a narrator who does not tell the reader the full truth. A historian writing a tendentious or eulogizing history book is not making use of a literary technique. It's something entirely different.
