The Jakarta Method

Book • 2020
The Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins is a comprehensive history that reveals the U.S.

government's role in fostering systematic mass murder across the globe, especially in Southeast Asia and Latin America, as part of its anticommunist strategy during the Cold War. The book uses recently declassified documents, archival research, and eyewitness testimony to detail the brutal extermination of unarmed leftists and its lasting impact on global politics.

Bevins traces how these events influenced later anticommunist dictatorships and continue to shape the social and political landscape today.
