The Jakarta Method: Washington’s Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World

byVincent Bevins

Vincent Bevins uses The Jakarta Method to investigate washington’s Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World through a carefully framed historical account. Its account follows central actors and turning points while showing how the story reflects questions in the connected fields of history and political science. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning.
