- Summary:
- This account of East Timor's struggle for nationhood is drawn from dozens of "off the record" interviews with government and military insiders in Indonesia, Australia, the United States, the United Nations, and hundreds of secret documents. Describing Indonesia's bloody retreat from East Timor after a 24-year occupation, this book details a distracted president's bold decision, an internationally monitored ballot, the descent into the cauldron of violence, and the arrival of peacekeepers. Also discussed is the effectiveness of Australia's role in rallying support for international action, preventing bloodshed, and participating in the peacekeeping operation.
