One that you might like is, intent to deceive, denying the genocide of the Tutsi by Linda Malvern. It is 25 years

since the 1994 genocide of the Tutsi of Rwanda when in the course of three terrible months,

more than one million people were murdered. In the intervening years, a pernicious campaign has

been waged by the perpetrators to deny this

crime with attempts to falsify history and blame the victims for their fate. Intent to deceive

tells the story of this campaign of genocide denial from its origins with those who planned the massacres.

With unprecedented access to government archives, including in Rwanda,
