From the Place of the Dead: The Epic Struggles of Bishop Belo of East Timor
Seller: Bookbot, Prague, Czech Republic
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Risse; Gebogener Buchrücken; Farbveränderung durch Alter/Sonne. In 1975, Indonesia illegally invaded East Timor, until then a Portuguese colony. Since then, an estimated 200,000 people, nearly one-third of the territory's original population, have perished from war, famine, and killings. Now, after the fall of Indonesia's longtime strongman, General Suharto, East Timor is in the public eye and seems on the verge of winning independence. No one has been more crucial to this development than Bishop Belo, the first Catholic bishop ever to win the Nobel Peace Prize. In From the Place of the Dead, journalist Arnold Kohen has written the first full-length biography of Bishop Belo. Kohen, who has had unparalleled access to Bishop Belo for the past five years, provides not only a penetrating portrait of the Timorese prelate, but also the definitive account of a tortured country and the politics in which it is embroiled.

From the Place of the Dead - Bishop Belo and the Struggle for East Timor
Seller: Dial-A-Book, NARRABEEN, NSW, Australia
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Very Good. 8vo. Softcover. 398pp. Very good. Index. Illustrations. In 1975, Indonesia illegally invaded East Timor, until then a Portuguese colony. Since then, an estimated 200,000 persons, nearly one-third of the territory's original population, have perished from war, famine, and killings. Now, after the fall of Indonesia's longtime strongman, General Suharto, East Timor is in the public eye, and seems on the verge of winning independence. No one has been more crucial to this development than Bishop Belo. His inspiring story recalls the struggle of Mahatma Gandhi, whose non-violent philosophy greatly influenced the Timorese bishop. In the face of assassination threats as well as excruciating pressure from enemies and friends alike, Bishop Belo has been a moral beacon and an unflinching defender of his martyred people in their fight against injustice.
