1965: Indonesia and The World: Bilingual Edition (Indonesian and English Edition)

Indonesian Sinopsis: INDONESIA DAN DUNIA Pada tahun 1965-66, salah satu tragedi kemanusiaan terburuk dalam sejarah modern berlangsung di Indonesia. Sekitar 500.000 sampai 1.000.000 orang tewas dibunuh karena dicurigai mendukung kudeta komunis. Sampai sekarang dimensi internasional rangkaian kejadian itu belum didalami. Meskipun dari segi pe lak sa­naan tergolong urusan dalam negeri, keseluruhan peristiwa tersebut ber­lang sung dalam konteks Perang Dingin global. Negara­negara asing bukanlah pengamat yang netral: Dalam rangka mengamankan kepentingan masing­masing, negara­negara itu memberikan dukungan kepada kelompok­kelompok Indonesia yang tengah bertikai--dan semuanya menyalahkan pihak lain atas tragedi yang terjadi.

On suspicion of having supported a communist coup, approximately 500,000 to 1,000,000 people were killed. So far the international dimension of those events is hardly explored. Although they were domestic by execution, they were also firmly embedded into the global Cold War. Foreign countries were anything but passive onlookers: They sided with Indonesian conflict parties and staked out their own claims--and they all blamed others for the tragedy.
