Title: Indonesia's Secret War in Aceh.
Description: Random House, 2004. Paperback. Condition vg. Vivid, eyewitness account of Indonesia's secret war in Aceh. This book recounts the suffering of Aceh and the saga of the author's own role in trying to get there to tell it. In that story is another - the deliberate tactic of Indonesia's military and security forces of shielding Aceh from the outside world. He seeks to expose the covert military tactics of controlling the country - by killing people and blaming the separatist movement; and atrocities against civilians of what is essentially mass murder, executions, air attacks and mass graves. Martinkus sounds a signal warning that without external pressure akin to that exerted over East Timor, the killings and human rights abuses already documented there will continue unabated. 340pp. ISBN 174051209X.
