East Timor and Indonesia Action Network: References & Edit History

Two documentaries were instrumental for ETAN in educating the interested public. Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media (1992), reveals the role of the media in propagandizing the official U.S. government position on Indonesia; and Death of a Nation: The Timor Conspiracy (1994), examines the complicity of the U.S., the U.K., and Australia in the events that shook occupied East Timor. Paul Hainsworth and Stephen McCloskey (eds.), The East Timor Question: The Struggle for Independence from Indonesia (2000); Desmond Ball and Hamish McDonald, Death in Balibo, Lies in Canberra (2000); Joseph Nevins, A Not-So-Distant Horror: Mass Violence in East Timor (2005); David Scott, Last Flight out of Dili: Memoirs of an Accidental Activist in the Triumph of East Timor (2005); and Geoffrey Robinson, “If You Leave Us Here, We Will Die”: How Genocide Was Stopped in East Timor (2009), are among the many books examining aspects of East Timor’s recent history.
