There is a 2014 book titled "Enduring Lies: The Rwandan Genocide in the Propaganda System, 20 Years Later," co-authored by Edward S. Herman (yes, he of "Manufacturing Consent"), that claims that most of the victims were not the minority Tutsis but Hutus and that the word "genocide" has been incorrectly applied by the west to what was a civil war. It appears to have been meticulously researched, but, as you might expect, is controversial. While some critics dismiss the study as "denialism, for what it's worth, it has been described in a blurb by Christopher Black, a Canadian attorney and the lead defense counsel before the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, as “A brilliant dissection of the Western propaganda system on Rwanda."
