Last Flight out of Dili

Just finished a detailed account of David Scott's involvement in the struggle for independence of East Timor in Last Flight out of Dili.

Although lost in correspondence at times, Scott's book is a reminder of the failure of successive Australian Governments to prevent and then respond to the Indonesian invasion of 1975. It details Australia's complicity in the invasion and ongoing occupation.

Worth a read with interesting insights into the life of Jose Ramos Horta and the emergence of Timor Leste as an independent state.
