What if paradise wasn't found... but forged in blood and cloves? This large-print odyssey rips through Bali's postcard-perfect lies to reveal Java's cannibal kings, slaves who outsmarted Dutch torturers, and the CIA plot that slaughtered 1 million communists in 1965.
✅ Prehistoric shamans chewing betel nut to commune with volcano gods
✅ Srivijaya's pirate navy sinking Chinese junks with poisoned arrows
✅ Dutch colonizers boiling rebels alive in bubur panas cauldrons
✅ Sukarno's final plea: "Burn my body, but never extinguish Indonesia's fire!"
"
Kill every Chinese! Let the rivers run red from Jakarta to Sumatra!"
- Dutch General Coen, 1621 - An order that slaughtered 15,000 in the Banda Islands genocide.
Secrets Scrubbed from History:- Borobudur's dark foundation: 10,000 slaves entombed alive beneath its stones.
- Islamic conversion trick: Traders spread Qur'ans laced with opium to addict local chiefs.
- CIA's 1965 playbook: ?? Declassified files prove Washington supplied death lists for Suharto's death squads.
Indonesian Reader's Chills
"The chapter on the Java War broke me. Prince Diponegoro's guerillas eating rats while Dutch dogs tore children apart? Large print made these horrors inescapable - my nenek wept reading it." - Budi S. (5 stars)
Perfect For You If:- You've tasted rendang but never knew the recipe hid anti-colonial codes.
- You believe paradise has a price - paid in human bones and stolen spices.
- You need large print (because Indonesia's agony deserves crystal clarity).
- You crave forbidden heroes: Not just Sukarno, but the gundik concubines who poisoned Dutch generals in their beds.
Warning: Contains unvarnished truths:- Genocidal greed (VOC amputating hands for "spice theft")
- Sacred cruelty (Hindu priests sacrificing virgins to Krakatoa)
- Modern betrayals (Western mines poisoning Papua's rivers for gold)
