Bevins’ The Jakarta Method is one of the most chilling, clarifying books of the century — an exposé of how the U.S. helped architect mass murder across the Global South during the Cold War, beginning with the slaughter of up to a million Indonesians in 1965. Through meticulous reporting and survivor testimony, Bevins reveals how this “model” of exterminating leftist movements spread from Brazil to Chile to Guatemala, shaping today’s global order through fear, silence, and erased histories. It’s a story of ghosts that still haunt the present — and a reminder that democracy has too often been defended by destroying it elsewhere.
