Zusammenfassung:Van Klinken presents an official list of Indonesian casualties in East Timor from 1975-1999. He stresses that East Timor was almost certainly Indonesia's bloodiest arena since the war for independence. Ignorance of the human side of the many lethal operations conducted by Indonesia's own armed forces, today and in the past, weds national feeling to the glorification of war and permits anti-democratic "enemy within" propaganda to flourish.
