Sommario/riassunto

""John Martinkus' narrative is as engrossing as it is appalling. It is full of menace and madness and the smell of death."" -Peter Craven, Introduction""The violence in West Papua today ... is being orchestrated by the same figures in the Indonesian military who were behind the events in East Timor ... the whole repressive network of the Indonesian military that laid [it] waste."" -John Martinkus, Paradise Betrayed]]>
