Summary
"Seven Days in East Timor is Tim Fischer's story. In it he tells the reader what he saw, what he thought and what he felt as he led the All Party Australian delegation through one of the most tumultuous events in recent Southeast Asian history. Violence, hope, deception, faith and a people's quiet determination to have their say whatever the cost; these are some of the ingredients of one man's personal account of the agony that accompanied the birth of an independent East Timor."--BOOK JACKET
