520    "Tells the story of East Timor, a half-island that 
       suffered genocide after Indonesia invaded in 1975, and 
       which was again laid to waste after the population voted 
       for independence from Indonesia in 1999. Before 
       international forces intervened, more than half the 
       population had been displaced and 1,500 people killed. 
       Geoffrey Robinson, an expert in Southeast Asian history, 
       was in East Timor with the United Nations in 1999 and 
       provides a gripping first-person account of the violence, 
       as well as a rigorous assessment of the politics and 
       history behind it. Robinson debunks claims that the 
       militias committing the violence in East Timor acted 
       spontaneously, attributing their actions instead to the 
       calculation of Indonesian leaders, and to a "culture of 
       terror" within the Indonesian army. He argues that major 
       powers--notably the United States, Australia, and the 
       United Kingdom--were complicit in the genocide of the late
       1970s and the violence of 1999. At the same time, Robinson
       stresses that armed intervention supported by those powers
       in late 1999 was vital in averting a second genocide. 
       Advocating accountability, the book chronicles the failure
       to bring those responsible for the violence to justice. A 
       riveting narrative filled with personal observations, 
       documentary evidence, and eyewitness accounts, [this book]
       engages essential questions about political violence, 
       international humanitarian intervention, genocide, and 
       transitional justice"--From publisher description.
