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.

In the early morning hours of October 1, 1965, a group calling
itself the September 30th Movement kidnapped and executed six
generals of the Indonesian army, including its highest commander.
The group claimed that it was attempting to preempt a coup, but it
was quickly defeated as the senior surviving general, Haji Mohammad
Suharto, drove the movement's partisans out of Jakarta. Riding the
crest of mass violence, Suharto blamed the Communist Party of
Indonesia for masterminding the movement and used the emergency as
a pretext for gradually eroding President Sukarno's powers and
installing himself as a ruler. Imprisoning and killing hundreds of
thousands of alleged communists over the next year, Suharto remade
the events of October 1, 1965 into the central event of modern
Indonesian history and the cornerstone of his thirty-two-year
dictatorship.
