The Jakarta Method
Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World
Vincent Bevins
Explore the shocking hidden history of the United States' involvement in wanton slaughter across Indonesia, Latin America, and beyond. In his bold and comprehensive new history, Vincent Bevins uncovers how the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill one million innocent civilians in 1965 - a pivotal moment in the Cold War. The Jakarta Method sheds light on the disturbing legacy that spans the globe and reveals how the brutal extermination of unarmed leftists was a fundamental part of Washington's final triumph in the Cold War.

The two best books on how the US National Security State and the CIA became a completely unaccountable, secretive and malicious force in post-WW2 US political life:
1) The Devil's Chessboard, by David Talbot
2) The Jakarta Method, by @Vinncent Bevins – источник2021-04-27T16:44:19.000Z
Great book. I’m muscular & thus was able to read the hardcover. If a lighter weight version is more your speed, now’s your time. – источник2020-09-19T16:38:29.000Z
Good book, people should read it to understand the fanaticism of cold war era anti-communism.
I think it explains a lot about the conspiracy theories we are increasingly seeing. – источник
