The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins (Paperback)

In 1965, with support from the United States, the Indonesian army carried out a campaign of mass killing that destroyed one of the world's largest communist parties. Journalist Vincent Bevins shows how this episode became a model, the so-called Jakarta Method, that influenced anticommunist violence across Latin America and beyond during the Cold War.

Drawing on archival research and interviews with survivors around the world, Bevins reconstructs a hidden history with major consequences for the present.

A powerful, eye-opening work of history and journalism.
