Publishers Description: This provocative book reveals the previously hidden details of one of the most shameful episodes in Australias history, providing a firsthand account of the deaths of five young television reporters killed by the Indonesian military in the East Timor border town of Balibo in 1975. The reporters died as they filmed the advance of Indonesian troops into the town. Cover Up tells their personal stories and of their families heartbreaking struggle for the truth. It argues that the Australian government was always aware of the circumstances of the killings and that its cover-up was a key factor in Indonesias decision to invade and occupy East Timor. Part memoir, part history, this searing book is as much an investigation of the Indonesian occupation of East Timor as it is a case study of the Balibo killings.
