Part 1: The Jakarta Method: Washington's Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World by Vincent Bevins
23 Jun 2024
In The Jakarta Method, Vincent Bevins argues persuasively that during the Cold War, the U.S. approved of mass murder campaigns to roll back communism in the Third World. This is a provocative, necessary book, an essential guide to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of our imperfect world. Vincent Bevins builds on his incisive reporting for the Washington Post, using recently declassified documents, archival research and eye-witness testimony collected across twelve countries to reveal a shocking legacy that spans the globe. For decades, it’s been believed that parts of the developing world passed peacefully into the U.S.-led capitalist system. The Jakarta Method demonstrates that the brutal extermination of unarmed leftists was a fundamental part of Washington’s final triumph in the Cold War. 01:16:25 1 A New American Age 02:08:36 2 Independent Indonesia 03:22:11 3 Feet to the Fire, Pope in the Sky 03:57:29 4 An Alliance for Progress 04:30:19 5 To Brazil and Back 05:21:50 6 The September 30th Movement 06:18:31 7 Extermination 07:06:55 8 Around the World 07:57:05 9 Jakarta Is Coming 09:06:22 10 Back Up North
