Abstract
Even two years after the first upheaval, it is still almost impossible for
anyone to view with complete objectivity the trauma which shook Indonesia
on and after the night of 30th September 1965. Among Indonesians, all are
involved; there are few who have not felt their jobs, their property, or their
lives threatened at some time either before or after Gestapu. In the outside
world, on the other hand, reactions have mainly been governed by international
alignments. The reversal of the foreign policy of Sukarno and Aidit
has brought relief to the major targets of that policy -America, Britain,
India and Malaysia - in particular and to a wider group interested in Asian
stability and the authority of the United Nations. It has brought further
annoyance to China.
