The Indonesian massacres of 1965 and 1966 were described by the CIA as ‘one of the ghastliest and most concentrated bloodlettings’ of the Cold War—and were responsible for up to a million deaths, according to some estimates. As such, they are comparable with some of the worst mass killings of the Century, but have remained relatively unknown. In this podcast, the Institute for Continuing History explores the growing body of research on the massacres that has emerged since the fall of Indonesia’s military regime in the late 1990s.
