I am so much more informed having read this.

Everyone should read this since the effects of USA’s intervention in foreign democracies are still seen everywhere. My fellow Americans especially can benefit from it as it’s a huge part of our recent history that is missing from our curriculum.

Shines a light on a horrific chapter in world history. I do wish the book had been longer and had more room to expand its thesis as I felt the second half was a little rushed.

If you're Indonesian (especially if you're old enough to read academic-level books like this) PLEASE read this book. It's extremely important to read because this book shows what truly happened back in 1965-1966, and also its context within the global geopolitical space.
