Reviews

"The volume's source materials are indispensable for researchers in the field." H.S. Albinski, Choice "While Indonesia continues to suffer increasing international opprobrium over East Timor, those interested in this unresolved dispute have the opportunity to become fully cognizant of the background and international reaction to the controversy." Daniel C. Turack, Journal of Third World Studies "As the tenth volume in the Cambridge International Documents Series this book provides a magnificent compilation of many of the most important source materials relating to the issue of East Timor. It is essential work for any serious discussion, and without doubt constitutes the definitive text to date, with a handsome appearance and pleasing format enhancing its authority." David Hicks, Asian Thought and Society
