In 1965–66, army-organized massacres claimed the lives of
hundreds of thousands of supporters of the Communist Party of
Indonesia. Very few of these atrocities have been studied in any
detail, and answers to basic questions remain unclear. What was the
relationship between the army and civilian militias? How could the
perpetrators come to view unarmed individuals as dangerous enemies
of the nation? Why did Communist Party supporters, who numbered in
the millions, not resist? Drawing upon years of research and
interviews with survivors, Buried Histories is an impressive
contribution to the literature on genocide and mass atrocity,
crucially addressing the topics of media, military organization,
economic interests, and resistance.
