what books would you recommend that dont do that (in relation to a this or a similar subject matter)
The Jakarta Method and If We Burn managed to balance event recitation & analysis fairly well. They both probably trace the outer limit of how many discrete events can be covered & analyzed in a single book - fewer than 10 I'd say, obviously with all of them having a series of important sub-events. Also emphasizing the salient features of each event to differentiate them in the mind.
I'm reading Atrocity fabrication and it's consequences by A.B. Abrams and so far it's not just atrocity buy analysis.
