Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This text recounts the history of the Indonesian occupation of East Timor in 1975. Vast numbers of East Timorese lost their lives, as the Indonesians quelled resistance with brutal force.
This biography charts the efforts of Bishop Belo (Nobel Peace Prize Winner) to lead the East Timorese resistance to the Indonesian occupation. It contains insights into the Bishop's character, who condemned Indonesian repression and brutality as well as defusing violent resistance to the invaders.
