Book Review by Susie j Folmer, November 2019
The untold and largely unknown part of history has been presented in the most comprehensive manner through this amazing piece of well researched literature. When research is written in such a professional way that it can itself identify possible issues arising from it, to me, it is high level work. It is not a comfortable reality to read of, but one that must be told and told in the way this one has been. The amount of consultation that went on throughout the development of this speaks for itself in the breadth of areas the writer has covered. Not only do the words tell an incredibly difficult story that has needed to be told for far too long, its visual aids of mass grave sites and photographs, the graphs, tables and lists give you moment to pause and be taken directly to those moments in time which is a rare way of telling such a story. It is brave, it is comprehensive, and the magnitude of this work will certainly strike chords in many a heart. The evidence presented is undisputable and provides a great opportunity for generations to now look to in order to better understand how what happened then impacts on what has happened since and what is happening now and into the future.
This book might well cause discomfort to some who refuse to acknowledge the truth in history and these attempts at genocide that were brutal, barbaric and worse the attempted cover-ups that left voices unheard. Now those voices are being heard and this needed to happen for a long time. It has been a privilege to read this amazing book and at times quite difficult to think that some of my own ancestors faced the worst of humanity. So many writers in history perpetuate falsehoods to gloss over and keep certain uncomfortable things hidden from society. This is a compelling and brave step in the right direction. I would strongly suggest all people interested in or studying history, sociology, or any of the humanities have this book in their reading lists and on their bookshelves as it will become a point of reference they will often return to. It is about time the liars in history were silenced and the voices of the voiceless were heard as loudly as this brilliant piece of work does. I can not express my gratitude for the dedication that has brought this book to being. “History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awaken”, and as a favourite lecturer of mine said many years ago, “the truth is always longer than a lie”.
