This is the previously untold eyewitness story of Indonesia's sustained campaign of terror from 1997 to 1999 against one of Australia's closest neighbours. Written with urgency and compassion by a world-renowned Australian journalist, it is a story filled with drama, horror, human interest, political intrigue - and even the odd flash of black humour.
John Martinkus travelled with guerillas, saw militias in action and got to know east Timor as few have, while uncovering the secret war Indonesia was waging against this fledgling nation - a war that eventually erupted and led to Australia's troops being called in. A deeply personal account of a shocking period in our region's history.
