Named a Best Book of the Year by The Economist A chilling work of
true crime about the midair murder of a human rights activist, set
against a riveting political drama in the world's fourth-largest
nation On a warm Jakarta night in September 2004, Munir said
goodbye to his wife and friends at the airport. He was bound for
the Netherlands to pursue a master's degree in human rights. But
Munir never reached Amsterdam alive. Before his plane touched down,
the thirty-eight-year-old-one of the leading human rights activists
of his generation-lay dead in the fourth row. Munir's daring
investigation of the killings and abductions that occurred over
three decades of authoritarian rule by the former president,
Suharto, had earned him powerful enemies. Undeterred, Munir's wife,
Suciwati, and his close friend, Usman Hamid, launched their own
investigation. They soon uncovered a conspiracy involving spies, a
mysterious co-pilot, threats of violence and black magic, and
deadly poison. Drawing on interviews, courtroom observation, leaked
documents, and police files, this book uncovers the dramatic murder
plot and the titanic struggle to bring the perpetrators of Munir's
death to justice. Just as Patrick Radden Keefe's Say Nothing did
for Northern Ireland, We Have Tired of Violence tells the story of
a shocking crime that serves as a window into a captivating land
still struggling to shake off a terrible legacy.
