John Roosa is assistant professor of history at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.
This is essential reading for students of modern Indonesian history, and for anyone interested in political violence, the role of the military in politics, and U.S. foreign policy. - Geoffrey Robinson, UCLA ""Roosa takes readers into that fascinating hyper-heated political atmosphere of Sukarno's Indonesia.... His account shows how the bloody denouement of October 1965 was the sum of these tensions - rival military factions, maneuvers by special units within the Communist Party, and the efforts of foreign intelligence agencies to manipulate these divisions. Lucid, thoughtful, and engaging, this is a brilliant, strikingly original analysis."" - Alfred W. McCoy, author of A Question of Torture: CIA Interrogation from the Cold War to the War on Terror, series editor
