This book is a detailed account of the planning for the coup over a period of several weeks before the actual coup on 30 September 1965 and the role President Sukarno played in the affair. It establishes the central role of the PKI in the planning beyond any doubt and the utter lack of warning of the army of the forthcoming raids on the homes of Indonesia's top eight generals that left seven of them dead within a matter of hours.
