In 1965, the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were so successful. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this bold and comprehensive new history, Vincent Bevins builds on his incisive reporting for the \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, using recently declassified documents, archival research and eye-witness testimony collected across twelve countries to reveal a shocking legacy that spans the globe. For decades, it's been believed that parts of the developing world passed peacefully into the U.S.-led capitalist system. \u003ci\u003eThe Jakarta Method\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that the brutal extermination of unarmed leftists was a fundamental part of Washington's final triumph in the Cold War. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vincent Bevins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541724003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541724006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e PublicAffairs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Vincent Bevins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44053966094591,"sku":"9781541724006","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce5ebe83-d725-4abe-a4fa-1bddc2b48892.jpg?v=1685027241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-jakarta-method-vincent-bevins-9781541724006","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
