Summary:
"The hidden story of the wanton slaughter
--
in Indonesia, Latin America, and around the world
--
backed by the United States. In 1965, the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth
century
, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway
countries
like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful. In this bold and comprehensive new
history
, Vincent Bevins builds on his incisive reporting for the Washington Post, using recently declassified documents, archival research and eye-witness testimony collected across twelve
countries
to reveal a shocking legacy that spans the globe. For decades, it's been believed that parts of the
developing
world passed peacefully into the U.S.-led capitalist system. The Jakarta Method demonstrates that the brutal extermination of unarmed leftists was a fundamental part of Washington's final triumph in the Cold War."--Goodreads.
