"Over many years successive Australian governments, supported by an influential network of pro-Jakarta lobbyists, worked assiduously to preserve Indonesian sovereignty over East Timor. Yet in September 1999 the Howard government took the lead in assembling a multinational peacekeeping force to guarantee East Timor's independence. Reluctant Saviour explains why."--BOOK JACKET.
