Dr. Samuel Totten served as one of the 24 investigators with the U.S. Atrocities Documentation Project in eastern Chad. His most recent book is An Oral and Documentary History of the Darfur Genocide (Praeger Security International, 2010).
I spoke with Dr. Totten from his home in Fayetteville, Arkansas, and began by asking him to describe the situation in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan.
The book he recommends is one that he wrote and was just published entitled âWe Cannot Forget: Interviews with Survirors of Genocide on Rwanda.â
