You are missing my point. I&#x27;m not saying the US government is correct, I&#x27;m saying no one else was counting the dead. And at the time, the US government had no reason to downplay the numbers since the voting population mostly didn&#x27;t care.<p>And I don&#x27;t have time to read your book, but I&#x27;m going to guess that the book relies upon the official government numbers and their extrapolates additional deaths based on some criteria. I doubt someone just magically found a new as yet undiscovered accurate death list.
