In 1965, the American government assisted the Indonesian military in killing approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most significant turning points of the twentieth century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring similar terror programs in distant countries like Brazil and Chile. However, these events remain largely overlooked, precisely because the CIA's secret interventions were particularly successful.
In this bold and comprehensive new history, Vincent Bevins draws on his perceptive journalism for the Washington Post, using recently declassified documents, archival research, and eyewitness testimonies gathered in twelve countries, revealing a shocking legacy that spans the globe. For decades, it was believed that parts of the developing world quietly transitioned to the U.S.-led capitalist system. "The Jakarta Method" proves that the violent extermination of defenseless leftists was a fundamental part of Washington's ultimate victory in the Cold War.
