Book Reviews of the A Not-So-Distant Horror: Mass Violence In East Timor
Customer Review: Powerful, sobering, and yet inspiring
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great book. It tells an important story, and powerfully combines facts and analysis. It does NOT read like a "travelogue" or an "anthology" as "alrightnik" claims. (The comments of "alrightnik" are so off base it makes me wonder if he actually read the book.) Yes, there are some personal anecdotes, but they're beautifully woven into the larger fabric of Nevins' compelling narrative. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone interested in U.S. foreign policy, SE Asia, human rights, international law, and global justice.
