In 1993, John Pilger and David Munro entered East Timor where 18 years earlier, a team of journalists, including Australian Greg Shackleton, were murdered by the Indonesian army for daring to question the validity of the invasion.
Pilger uncovered the shocking complicity of the US and Great Britain governments in the ensuing genocide - the same governments who were willing to go to war with Saddam Hussein for his invasion of Kuwait, but who stood aside as Indonesia broke the exact same UN regulations to rape and pillage East Timor using Western arms.
'Death of a Nation: the Timor Conspiracy' is credited with alerting much of the world to the horror of the Indonesian occupation, and the complicity of Western governments. East Timor finally gained its independence in 2000.
