The only Dutch book that overcame a full book ban:
Now freely downloadable worldwide
A general sporting three stars on his uniform, commissioning a private spy to nose around in a commercial company. And this is not just anyone: it’s the
general’s own wife. A tribal war within the Dutch Military Intelligence Service, with unsuspecting citizens being victimised. One would expect such a modus
operandi in North Korea, not in the Low Countries. However, this is what author Edwin Giltay experienced – he vividly describes the saga in The
Cover-up General (Dutch: De doofpotgeneraal ).
In his book, Giltay depicts the rather transparent conduct of secret service agents infiltrating the internet provider where he
worked. Initially, a spook tried to recruit Giltay as a military analyst. At the same time, however, she herself was being monitored. At the root of
this tug-of-war within Dutch Military Intelligence was the infamous film roll of Srebrenica depicting war crimes, which was misdeveloped by the
Dutch Armed Forces. The recruiting officer intended to make public that the footage on the film wasn’t at all lost – information that would no doubt
have undermined the standing of a certain triple-star general.
The Cover-up General delineates this espionage scandal and serves as a factual testimony of how this secret cover-up operation spun
out of control. Infuriating top brass, the book was banned after objections from military intelligence circles. However,
the Court of Appeal of The Hague ruled that its accuracy was not in doubt and annulled the book ban. Moreover, the
Court of Appeal affirmed the importance of the publication for the civic discourse on Srebrenica.
All these developments are set out in the

Voice
The following quotes about The Cover-up General form a mosaic of voices that weaves a powerful story about transparency and justice. These factual and verified quotes are drawn from judicial rulings, official documents, media reports, and testimonies from survivors and prominent figures. Forming a chorus of authentic perspectives, they expose the layered complexity of this shocking cover-up and call for confronting a dark chapter in Dutch history.
The sixty voices highlight a broader struggle for government accountability. Divided into ten categories, they confront the Dutch Ministry of Defence with its role in this affair, culminating in a unique judicial triumph against both a book ban and gag order. The sections partly follow a chronological thread to sketch the historical development. Supported by direct links to evidence, they also underscore the international significance. This relevance not only explains the English translation of The Cover-up General and the global publicity, but also emphasizes the duty to handle this sensitive topic with care.
Note: This case revolves around a Dutch cover-up operation regarding evidence of war crimes, in which Srebrenica plays a role, albeit not as the main subject. Quotes from Dutch and other non-English sources are translated here into English, faithful to the originals.
False Psychiatrization
From ‘unbreakable’ to ‘completely insane’: how the Dutch Ministry of Defence silences whistleblowers.

“Completely insane”
Frank de Grave, Minister of Defence, on Edwin Giltay in an official, never-revoked standpoint signed by his most senior civil servant (1999),
which ignored the earlier ‘strong character’ assessment after Giltay reported abuses
“Further letters from you on the same matter will be acknowledged for receipt.”
Reinier van Zutphen, National Ombudsman, refuses to withdraw his public 1999 report, which uncritically included Minister de Grave’s declaration of insanity.
“The wrongful psychiatrization of those who report abuses is a recurring phenomenon. That is policy, and the Minister of Defence does nothing to stop it.”

Srebrenica Cover-up
The ‘failed’ Srebrenica film roll: lost in a web of lies and internal conflict.
“I had the privilege of reading Giltay’s manuscript of The Cover-up General and it made my hair stand on end. ‘This won’t be appreciated,’ I commented, adding: ‘Watch out for repercussions!’ I fear there has been some serious lying at the highest levels.”
“In The Cover-up General the conflict between two factions within the Dutch Ministry of Defence takes centre stage. One side wanted to destroy at all costs the incriminating Srebrenica film roll showing crimes, while the other sought to make it public.”
Radio Televizija Srbije, the Serbian public broadcaster
“The book quotes a Military Intelligence Service (MID) employee who in 1998 raised concerns that the photos were not misdeveloped and were being withheld.”

Total Ban
A unique prohibition on publication and speaking: how one spelling error triggered the total ban.
“A former MID employee is demanding compensation from author Edwin Giltay in summary proceedings, plus a rectification. ‘My client slept badly after reading the book,’ says her lawyer. ‘There's not a jot of truth in it!’”
Leidsch Dagblad (2015), Dutch daily, on the MID official who labelled Giltay as “completely insane”, a label adopted by Minister De Grave in 1999
“Orders the defendant to refrain from further distribution, publication and/or reprints of The Cover-up General ... and to refrain from promoting the book at lectures, book presentations and other public utterances.”
The Hague District Court (2015), de facto prohibiting Giltay from criticising the Srebrenica cover-up and defending himself against his false psychiatrization
“The Dutch court has explicitly forbidden him from promoting his book or communicating with the media, which is unprecedented in the recent history of the ‘land of tulips’.”
Dnevni Avaz, Bosnian daily, on the unheard-of ban (under penalty of €1,000 per day)
“The court banned the book due to incorrect personal details of a former spy and lack of right of reply. The fact is, however, that she could not be traced because she varied the spelling of her name—a spy’s trick.”
Freedom of Expression for Beginners, blog article based on the censorship ruling
“The chilling effect of this is that authors no longer dare to publish for fear that even a single passage could lead to a ruling banning an entire book. Giltay even had to take his entire website offline.”

News
The victory over both the book and speaking prohibitions sets a crucial precedent in Dutch literary history. While earlier Dutch writers like Multatuli – whose masterpiece Max Havelaar (1860) exposed colonial abuses – triumphed over targeted attacks on specific passages, Edwin Giltay stands alone: as far as records show, he's the only one to overturn a complete suppression of a book in the Netherlands. Even internationally, this is highly exceptional. The Banned Books Museum in Tallinn, which collects suppressed books from around the world, sums it up aptly: “a very rare example of an author who has successfully challenged a book ban.” In a country with a strong tradition of free press, this ruling exposes the state’s cover-up mentality through the detailed revelations in the book – from honey traps to missing evidence. This precedent-setting ruling has thereby unleashed a wave of international recognition.
The global call for transparency and justice in the aftermath of the Srebrenica tragedy is undeniable. Over 400 publications in print media, on radio, television, and through online channels have brought The Cover-up General to the attention of an estimated 10 million people worldwide.
Read more about this estimate
The estimated reach of 10 million people is based on the combined readership and viewership over the years of major outlets such as
Al Jazeera, NOS, and Dnevni Avaz, among others, supplemented by publications in numerous lesser-known online platforms, blogs,
and social media worldwide. Although overlap in audience has been corrected where possible, it remains a rough estimate due to the lack of exact figures.
Below is a selection of the most significant media coverage:
This wave of reporting, from Brazil to Indonesia, is remarkably broad and strengthens the call for constitutional accountability. The media attention moreover confronts the Defence Ministry with inevitable reputational damage due to its refusal to address this cover-up affair. Even a Dutch book about its intelligence operations linked to the genocide is being intensely discussed internationally – a powerful signal of the universal rejection of censorship, and an expression of the urgent need for truth regarding Srebrenica. This collective demand for justice urges the Defence Ministry to show courage and acknowledge its mistakes in this matter, as a step towards transparency and reconciliation.
Auteur
Edwin Giltay is the only Dutch author who has successfully overturned a complete book ban. Moreover, he is the sole Dutchman to have a simultaneous speaking ban lifted – a unique achievement that marks his unwavering fight for press freedom and government accountability.
Born in The Hague in 1970, Giltay began his career as a technical writer for IBM, later working for Deloitte. Unexpected experiences provided insight into the world of intelligence services and their ethical dilemmas. Focusing on justice for the victims of Srebrenica, in his book The Cover-up General (2014), he revealed a Dutch military espionage operation set up to suppress evidence of its role in the 1995 genocide.
Journalists, veterans, and relatives have been contributing to a broader societal debate on this issue for years. Nevertheless, Giltay’s revelations faced fierce resistance from intelligence circles, which tried to silence him as early as 1998, when he first raised questions. For example, the Dutch state, in an official report, unjustly labelled him ‘completely insane’ to divert attention, thereby involuntarily drawing him into the affair.
Despite unfounded accusations, personal intimidation, and even professional reprisals, including a speaking and book ban, Giltay stood firm. In 2016, this determination was rewarded: the Court of Appeal of The Hague lifted both bans and stated unequivocally that The Cover-up General “finds sufficient support in the facts”. This legal recognition not only restored Giltay’s right to speak, but also affirmed the investigative integrity of his work. The Banned Books Museum in Tallinn thus later showcased it as “a very rare example in our collection of an author who successfully challenged a book ban.” More importantly, in 2017, the Court of Appeal made another groundbreaking ruling. In a lawsuit brought by the Mothers of Srebrenica, in which the book was cited alongside numerous other pieces of evidence, the Dutch state was found partially liable for the tragic death of approximately 350 Srebrenica men.
Over the past thirty years, Giltay has contributed as an editor to dozens of books, ranging from software manuals to geopolitical non-fiction. The Cover-up General, discussed globally from Brazil to Indonesia, fuels the debate on Srebrenica and the Dutch intelligence services. This ongoing relevance is underlined by repeated international coverage, including an Al Jazeera documentary from 2025. Although the Dutch Justice Minister stated in 2021 that the book was not disinformation, formal rehabilitation by the state did not materialize: “The media hail me as a hero while the Justice Minister confirms the legitimacy of my work. And yet the Defence Minister clings to its position that I am ‘completely insane.’ I am grateful for all the solidarity, but the role of our country in Srebrenica is the ultimate integrity issue that should be the focus!”
To this day, Giltay continues to advocate for transparency and truth-seeking. In 2023, he won two lawsuits against the National Ombudsman for obstructing his information requests. With the penalties, indirectly paid by the Dutch state, he funded the English edition of The Cover-up General, which prominent Bosnians had asked for. In 2024, he made it available worldwide for free. Despite these successes, he is pursuing a new lawsuit over ongoing obstruction in releasing documents, thereby continuing his commitment to justice.
