Summary: A Great Place to Start
Comment: I didn't know about the atrocities in East Timor and the USA's complicity in them until I read reference to them in one of Chomsky's works. The outrage was kept secret from the USA public for a long time.

This book provides an excellent introduction to the history and global political dynamics behind the pogroms. You will be shocked and amazed.

Rating: 5
Summary: Must read for anyone interested in Politics
Comment: I found Matthew Jardine's book next to a cash register at LAX (Los Angeles International Airport) one day on my way to a flight.

I read it from cover to cover during the one hour flight and even though I was already familiar with the basic history of East Timor, the book informed me in a concise and well written manner, condensing the essense of that tragic history into a few dozen pages........I strongly recommend that anyone interested in what is happening on this planet read this book.

Summary: Excellent introduction to East Timor tragedy
Comment: The author gives a basic yet horrifying description of Indonesia's mass murder and terror against the people of East Timor, heavily supported from its inception by the United States and its allies. Its short length inevitably gives it a certain superficiality; I don't think the author is quite able to impart the full horror of the tragedy. But the basic facts are cogent enough and should give American citizens pause for painful but important reflections on how their government actually conducts foreign policy and what they can do to stop it from supporting tyranny and genocide.

This edition was published some months before the orgy of murder and terror of last September and thus the author did not have the opportunity to bring the story full circle.
