Rwanda 1994: The Myth of the Akazu Genocide Conspiracy and its Consequences

by Barrie Collins

Through a rigorous critique of the dominant narrative of the Rwandan genocide, Collins provides an alternative argument to the debate situating the killings within a historically-specific context and drawing out a dynamic interplay between national and international actors.

[Andrew Daniels · Rating 1 out of 5]

Lunatic theories
there isn't scholarship behind this guys assertions, while he does on occasion raise interesting and relevant questions the whole thing is tainted by his pile of conspiracy theory nonsense that hes promoting
this book is a bit dangerous and irresponsible, along the lines of genocide denial
Why does he believe a pile of things, well Habyarimana's son told him so.... hmmmm.... he apparently considers that good enough to believe anything, anything really.

Really interesting book that challenges the conventional wisdom of the Rwandan genocide. I'm giving this book a provisional 3 stars while do some follow-up work on some of the sources cited by the author.
