Abstract:

"Australia's involvement with East Timor began in the Second World War when many Australian soldiers would have died without the aid of the East Timorese. Since that time, East Timor has been left on its own to fight a bloody battle for freedom from Indonesia.

How could this be allowed to happen - and what was Australia's part in it?" Age 11+.
