THE KILLING SEASON: A History of the Indonesian Massacres, 1965-66

摘要

The Killing Season is a hard good book. Geoffrey Robinson provides an engagingly written and exhaustively researched account of one of the twentieth century's most horrific events. It is a social and political history of a mass killing that aims to explain how violence at such scale and ferocity could have happened, to uncover who was involved and why, and to detail the consequences for Indonesian politics and society today. Robinson makes original contributions to the study of the killings that will make The Killing Season a touchstone in the academic literature on modern Indonesian history. More than that, it is also the rare book that you can equally imagine assigning to an undergraduate class in Southeast Asian politics, giving as a gift to an avid reader, or insisting that a State Department employee read.
