Throughout September 1999 Australian television and newspaper s were dominated by the coverage of the violence in East Timor following the decisive vote for independence. Vivid and intense, this reporting helped create pressure for international intervention, culminating in the arrival of United Nations forces. This compelling book examines the changing character of media coverage of East Timor and the shifts in Australian diplomacy and public opinion. Taking events up to the release of new Foreign Affairs documents in late 2000, it is the first detailed account of how diplomatic imperatives, domestic political controversies, and news coverage unfolded during Australia's greatest foreign policy disaster of the last quarter century.
