About this title

Synopsis

From the author of the acclaimed A Dirty Little War comes this vivid, eyewitness account of Indonesia's secret war in Aceh.
I couldn't stop thinking about how my reports from inside Aceh - of the still unconfirmed mass graves, the executions, the air attacks against civilians - could turn around the situation. Like how Max Stahl's footage of the Santa Cruz massacre in East Timor created the international support for an independent East Timor. But you had to ask, could that happen to Aceh in 2003? . Had our world changed so much with the terrorist strikes in New York and the bombing in Bali that human lives in places such as Aceh no longer grabbed our attention? When only four years earlier the same acts being carried out by the same military caused enough concern for international peacekeepers to be sent in?
