Page "Historical revisionism (negationism)" Paragraph 12

These scholars are labeled " revisionists " by their opponents.

For example, the publication of Diana Johnstone's work has had a controversial reception.

In her book, Fools ' Crusade: Yugoslavia, Nato, and Western Delusions she questions that genocidal killings occurred in Srebrenica.

The book was rejected by publishers in Sweden prompting an open letter in 2003 defending Johnstone's book ( and her right to publish ) which was signed by, among others, Noam Chomsky, Arundhati Roy, Tariq Ali and John Pilger: " We regard Diana Johnstone ’ s Fools ’ Crusade as an outstanding work, dissenting from the mainstream view but doing so by an appeal to fact and reason, in a great tradition.

" On the other hand, Richard Caplan of Reading and Oxford University reviewed the work in International Affairs, where he described the work as " a revisionist and highly contentious account of western policy and the dissolution of Yugoslavia ".
