Need some help here, google is too vast to get reliable opinions that are not meme tier. Just finished pic related, I was always a fan of this guy's investigations, his work overall. The book is about the Borneo headhunts, the Java student uprising and the genocidal campaign against East Timor when it declared independence. The thing is that he was there, for all three events, on the front lines, he saw the decapitated heads paraded, got shot at, almost forced at knife point to eat human meat etc. He was not phased by the threats from the West about shutting up because it would put the natives in a bad light and justify the Dutch colonization etc. An incredible work, I recommend it to everyone.What I do need help with is finding book(s) just like the description above but related to the Rwandan genocide. Or if not, at least other journalists/investigators that wrote alike about other 3rd world countries conflicts. Africa and SEA are prime material, closely followed by south america. Read other names, found through mentions or bibliography, although I truly doubt I found them all. Thx in advance.
>>24730324picrel's not quite what you're looking for (Power was never on the front lines, iirc) but it's close. The US adopted a semi-formal "no genocides allowed" policy after the Holocaust and yet allowed every single post-WWII genocide to happen. The book tries to answer why. Great reading, made more interesting by the fact that Power has refused to condemn Israel.
>>24731440An excellent book, if we were a proper country this would be required reading in all Canadian high schools.
>>24730348>made more interesting by the fact that Power has refused to condemn Israel.i have never heard of this person before but if i had to guess it would be because people tend to not give a fuck as long as you are killing brown people and not europeans, or because doing so would genocide her career. both these OPs book and this one look interesting though i will check them out thank you for the recs anons.
>>24730348thank you anon, I will check it out as well>>24731440ready to buy it. I found a version from 2004 for 23 euros (your pic) and another from 2005 for 13 euros. Do you happen to know if there are worthy differences between them to justify the almost double price? Both paperback, both same number of pages, 592.
