In this bold and comprehensive new history, 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.

"Historia irabazleek idazten dute" esaten da, eta egia da Gerra Hotzarentzat ere, AEBen bertsioa entzuten dugu nonahi. Horregatik derrigorrezko irakurketa da liburu hau XX. mendea sakonki ulertu nahi duen ororentzat. Izan ere, Gerra Hotzean alde kapitalistak eskuratutako garaipenik garrantzitsuenetarikoa azaltzen du xeheki, baita horretarako erabilitako terrore anti-komunista ere. AEBek Indonesian lehenik, eta munduan zehar ondoren, aplikatutako metodo ankerrak aurkezten dizkigu liburuak.
