The task: To organise and conduct a vote, known as the Popular Consultation, on East Timor remaining as part of Indonesia or becoming an independent nation. The story — how the determination, dedication and courage, often to the point of valour, of the UN personnel overcame all obstacles and faced down all threats which enabled the East Timorese to exercise their right to decide.
Industry Reviews
"What a fantastic story. The author got me in from the first paragraph and have kept up the 'what it was like to be there' feeling all the way through."
-- Sheena Moyer
"Am thoroughly enjoying it. One of the best accounts of the nitty gritty of peacekeeping I have read. Congratulations!"
--Professor Peter Londey
"A compelling, honest testimony of bravery and personal courage, standing unarmed between a brutal, intimidating opposition and a fledging nation's determination to vote for it's own destiny.
--Vivian Waring, author of When Tears Ran Dry
"A great read, well written and factually interesting. It took me back 20yrs!! Refreshingly accurate account of what happened in Ermera!"
-- Don Barnby, ex Army SAS, served in Vietnam, became a police officer and served on three Peacekeeping missions
"I very much enjoyed Geoff's first person writing style, the respectful way he managed his own personnel & his professional, cooperative approach to the many numerous "incidents". I had difficulty putting this book to one side."
-- Kate Clements, A Flight Against All Odds: Scotland to Australia in 1968
