\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On this week\u2019s episode of Yeah Nah<\/a>, we talk to Vincent Bevins<\/a> [Twitter<\/a>]. Vincent is a journalist and the author of The Jakarta Method: Washington\u2019s Anticommunist Crusade and the Mass Murder Program that Shaped Our World<\/a><\/em> (PublicAffairs, 2020). <\/p>\n

The hidden story of the wanton slaughter \u2014 in Indonesia, Latin America, and around the world \u2014 backed by the United States.<\/p>\n

In 1965, the U.S. government helped the Indonesian military kill approximately one million innocent civilians. This was one of the most important turning points of the twentieth century, eliminating the largest communist party outside China and the Soviet Union and inspiring copycat terror programs in faraway countries like Brazil and Chile. But these events remain widely overlooked, precisely because the CIA\u2019s secret interventions were so successful.<\/p>\n

In this bold and comprehensive new history, Vincent Bevins builds on his incisive reporting for the Washington Post<\/em>, 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\u2019s been believed that parts of the developing world passed peacefully into the U.S.-led capitalist system. The Jakarta Method<\/em> demonstrates that the brutal extermination of unarmed leftists was a fundamental part of Washington\u2019s final triumph in the Cold War.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
