"This book examines the changing character of media coverage of East Timor and the shifts in Australian diplomacy and public opinion. Taking events up to the release of new Foreign Affairs documents in late 2000, it is the first detailed account of how diplomatic imperatives, domestic political controversies and news coverage unfolded during Australia's greatest foreign policy disaster of the last quarter of a century."--BOOK JACKET.
