Indonesia’s secret war in Aceh

This is the latest from acclaimed journalist John Martinkus, whose first book, A DIRTY LITTLE WAR told the definitive story of East Timor’s passage to independence. In this vivid, eye- witness account, Martinkus lifts the lid on the brutal, undeclared war in Aceh. Like East Timor, Aceh wants independence but it is paying a terrible price, and since September 11 things have got much worse. This book gets inside a conflict that is happening on Australia’s doorstepu but no one seems to care.
