Seller's Description:
Good, ex-lib. 96, wraps, map, notes, index, usual library markings. Introduction by Noam Chomsky. In 1975, after almost 400 years of Portugueserule, the tiny island nation of East Timor declared its independence. Nine days later, Indonesia invaded. The conflict still continues, with well over200, 000 deaths among the East Timor rebels--amounting to almost one third of the native population. Jardine's concise history tells of East Timor's heroic resistance against incredible odds, and of the military and diplomatic support Indonesia receives for its genocidal cause from the industrial West. Jardine also suggests ways you can help this long-suffering nation gain the peace, freedom, and justice it deserves.
