The Killing Season Explores One Of The Largest And Swiftest, Yet Least Examined, Instances Of Mass Killing And Incarceration In The Twentieth Centurythe Shocking Antileftist Purge That Gripped Indonesia In 196566, Leaving Some Five Hundred Thousand People Dead And More Than A Million Others In Detention.An Expert In Modern Indonesian History, Genocide, And Human Rights, Geoffrey Robinson Sets Out To Account For This Violence And To End The Troubling Silence Surrounding It. In Doing So, He Sheds New Light On Broad And Enduring Historical Questions. How Do We Account For Instances Of Systematic Mass Killing And Detention? Why Are Some Of These Crimes Remembered And Punished, While Others Are Forgotten? What Are The Social And Political Ramifications Of Such Acts And Such Silence?Challenging Conventional Narratives Of The Mass Violence Of 196566 As Arising Spontaneously From Religious And Social Conflicts, Robinson Argues Convincingly That It Was Instead The Product Of A Deliberate Campaign, Led By The Indonesian Army. He Also Details The Critical Role Played By The United States, Britain, And Other Major Powers In Facilitating Mass Murder And Incarceration. Robinson Concludes By Probing The Disturbing Longterm Consequences Of The Violence For Millions Of Survivors And Indonesian Society As A Whole.Based On A Rich Body Of Primary And Secondary Sources, The Killing Season Is The Definitive Account Of A Pivotal Period In Indonesian History. It Also Makes A Powerful Contribution To Wider Debates About The Dynamics And Legacies Of Mass Killing, Incarceration, And Genocide.
