Sinopsis

This account of US foreign policy reveals the story of the covert activity in Indonesia undertaken by President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles in the late 1950s. Working through the CIA, Eisenhower and Dulles secretly financed, armed and provided air power to dissident Indonesian colonels, thus fomenting a disastrous civil war and creating a foreign policy debacle on the scale of the Bay of Pigs. In the process, thousands of Indonesians - civilians as well as soldiers - were killed, and much of Indonesia's air force and navy destroyed.

Reseña del editor

During the late 1950s, President Eisenhower and Secretary of State John Foster Dulles provoked a civil war in Indonesia, aimed at transforming the character of its government to fit their own prescription. As great a debacle as the Bay of Pigs affair in Cuba, Eisenhower's covert military intervention in Indonesia helped pave the way for the political explosion of 1965-66 in which General Suharto ousted President Sukarno and at least half a million Indonesians were massacred.
