yorky i want to get your thoughts on this famous forged photograph
it was included in the first edition of the 'great game of genocide' originally published by oxford university press though after an investigation of the photograph - in which it was found to be a composite forgery - they quickly withdrew the book and destroyed its copies before a new edition was run
the thing is, why 'composite' this image and with that run the risk that it will be discovered and therefore could possibly undermine your conclusions especially by the instigators
was it because photographs of the genocide were rare or hardly taken and the author wanted to give the book that shock value, or was he using his own propaganda (as in creating an image to show the 'true' horror albeit a lie in itself) to strengthen his argument?
it all seems a bit ill-conceived - though with the right intentions
