Noam Chomsky calls it "perhaps the greatest death toll relative to the population since the Holocaust." Yet Indonesia's actions are supported--both diplomatically and economically--by the United States, Canada, Australia, and most other Western nations.

In this book, Matthew Jardine and Chomsky tell the story of East Timor's heroic resistance against all odds. They explain why you hardly ever hear about East Timor in the media, and they suggest ways you can help this long-suffering nation gain the peace, freedom, and justice it deserves.
