BOOKS FROM TIMOR-LESTEThe Crossing : A Story of East Timor
by Luís Cardoso
Description:
East Timor hit the world's newspaper headlines in August 1999 after its bloody, brave vote for independence from Indonesia - one of the great expressions of a people's democratic spirit, and its oppression. Before that - as a Portuguese colony and for 24 years of murderous Indonesian rule - it had been ignored.
