Few nations have endured a birth as traumatic and painful as the
world's youngest country, East Timor. Born amid the flames, pillage
and mayhem that surrounded Indonesia's reluctant withdrawal in
1999, it will for years be coping with the effects of destruction.
Irena Cristalis, one of a handful of foreign journalists who stayed
on during that nightmare to report it to the world, has kept faith
with the Timorese friends whose story she decided to tell. Her book
is a first-hand account of the lives of individual Timorese during
the long decades of Indonesia's repressive occupation, their often
heroic struggle for freedom, and their efforts to cope with the
dramatic historic shifts engulfing them. Based on years of research
and lengthy interviews with East Timor's past, present and future
leaders, it explores the complexities of East Timor's internal
politics. The book also tells the story of the ordinary students,
farmers, nuns, priests, journalists and others, who found
themselves playing extraordinary roles in terrible times.
