500    Translated from the Indonesian 
520    "Buru Island was the site of Indonesia's most remote and 
       infamous prison camp. In the wake of the 1965 repression 
       of the political Left, between 1969 and 1979, 
       approximately 12,000 men were held on Buru without formal 
       charge or trial. During their detention prisoners suffered
       torture, forced labour and malnourishment, as well as 
       social isolation. This book is an edited translation of 
       the Indonesian language memoir by the writer Hersri 
       Setiawan (b.1936) who was detained for nine years, 
       including seven on Buru Island. As a young writer filled 
       with hope and optimism for Indonesia's future he joined 
       the left-wing cultural organisation Lekra (Lembaga 
       Kebudayaan Rakyat, Institute of People's Culture) and was 
       a permanent representative of the Indonesian National 
       Committee to the Asia-Africa Writer's Bureau in Colombo. 
       Setiawan shares an intimate account of his life story 
       leading up to and during his detention. In beautifully 
       crafted prose he brings into stark light the horrors of 
       the period after 1965, which included disappearance, 
       murder, torture, betrayal and loss and his own capture and
       incarceration on Buru Island. This is a moving and at 
       times harrowing account of human cruelty and, at the same 
       time, a story of survival and hope"  -- Back cover
