In 1975, Indonesian forces overran East Timor, which had just
declared independence from Portugal. The occupation lasted
twenty-four years. Challenge the Strong Wind recounts the evolution
of Canadian government policy toward East Timor during that period.
Canada initially followed key allies in endorsing Indonesian rule,
but Canadian civil society groups promoted an alternative foreign
policy that focused on self-determination and human rights. Ottawa
eventually yielded to pressure from these NGOs and pushed
like-minded countries to join it in supporting Timorese
self-determination. David Webster draws on untapped government and
non-government archival sources, demonstrating that a clear-eyed
view of international history must include both state and non-state
perspectives.
