Revisionists , such as Edward S. Herman in his book '' The Srebrenica Massacre '' and the British journalist Mick Hume , alleged a discrepancy between a figure of over 8,000 victims and the number of bodies found and cast doubt on the explanation of the events , despite the long delays in locating mass graves and identifying the bodies in them . Similarly to their writing on Rwandan genocide , economist Edward S. Herman and independent researcher David Peterson , as well as Diana Johnstone and John Robles were engaged in revision and denial of the Bosnian genocide . In several articles , such as " The Politics of the Srebrenica Massacre " , written by Herman , or " The Srebrenica Massacre was a Gigantic Political Fraud " , by Herman and Robles , while repeating claims about political motives by western government and NATO conspirators from Herman & Peterson book '' Politics of Genocide '' , authors , concentrating on the Srebrenica massacre , state that Serb at Srebrenica were actually " killing ( of ) Bosnian-Muslim soldiers " and even that was in response to the " killing of over 2,000 Serb civilians , mostly women and children , at the location by Bosnian-Muslim army " , and that the numbers of executed Bosnian-Muslim soldiers " were probably in the order of between 500 and 1,000 ( ... ) ( i ) n other words , less than half of the number of Serbs civilians killed before July , 1995 " . For this complete reversal of reality they rely on and cite informations provided by another independent researcher Diana Johnstone , who herself never set foot in Bosnia , without a shadow of a doubt or critical examination into evidence and sources provided . They cite that women and children were largely spared and that only military age men were targeted . This view is not supported by the findings of the ICJ or the ICTY
