Book
Paperback. Condition: condition: good. In the second Quarterly Essay, John Birmingham takes apart the folly of twenty-five years of Australian policy on East Timor. How did Gough Whitlam and Richard Woolcott in 1975 saddle this country with a policy that was bound to lead to the intervention of 1999? Why were shrewder voices ignored and why did we persist with an unworkable model? Where does this leave us with an Indonesia still dominated by the old power elites? And what was the tragedy like for the people of East Timor? John Birmingham has written a passionate narrative history of the East Timor question which never turns away from the slaughter and sorrow of the people who suffered it. 'Appeasing Jakarta is an analysis of what happened in 1975 when we condoned Indonesia's intervention and what happened in 1999 when we stood against it .John Birmingham is deadly in his disdain for the way a defunct paradigm.was clung to like a dogma.but this is also an essay about the human cost.written in flowing colours with a strong narrative streak and a swashbuckling power of dispatch.' - Peter Craven, Introduction 'It was a policy of wilful blindness, made possible only because we were always somewhere else when the trigger was pulled.' - John Birmingham, Appeasing Jakarta.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Todd Ash [First symbol] (illustrator). Presumed First Edition, First printing. xii, 262, [4] pages. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Introduction by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Editor's Foreword. Contents include Discovering the Underground, How Far Should We Go?, The Student as Nigger, Mobilization: Gettin' the Students Together, Student Power, Black Power for the Black Students, Educational Reform, Youth Culture: The Rock Revolution, and Postscript: And It's Just the Beginning. John Birmingham, the editor of "Our Time is Now," is a witty, engaging guide through the high school underground from the vantage point of his own involvement as editor not only of the official student newspaper "VOICE" but also of the underground paper "Smuff" at Hackensack, N. J., High School. He traces the career of "Smuff" and presents a good sample of underground writing from high schools across the country. Kurt Vonnegut (November 11, 1922 - April 11, 2007) was an American writer and humorist known for his satirical and darkly humorous novels. In a career spanning over 50 years, he published fourteen novels, three short-story collections, five plays, and five nonfiction works; further collections have been published after his death. In addition, his short pieces, such as his Introduction to Our Time is Now, often have been overlooked and under-explored for there insights into both his creative genius and the social conditions and topics reflected in the works he agreed to introduce. Kurt Vonnegut Jr., in his introduction to "Our Time is Now," quotes a friend who went to high school with him in Indianapolis: "When you get to be our age, you all of a sudden realize that you are being ruled by people you went to high school with. You all of a sudden catch on that life is nothing but high school.class officers, cheerleaders, and all." Vonnegut agrees, adding, "High school is closer to the core of American experience than anything else I can think of.Richard Nixon is a familiar type from high school. So is Melvin Laird. So is everybody." Radicalized not by reading Marx but by looking at their own situation.

An interesting letter casting light on the Victorian provincial press. Scott s entry in the Oxford DNB states that, while he was living in Birmingham, H. J. Palmer offered him a staff appointment on the Birmingham Gazette; but he had to leave when he stipulated that, as a Liberal, he should write nothing in support of the Conservative cause. He was working again as a freelance when, in 1887, he was invited by W. T. Stead to join him on the Pall Mall Gazette. He worked for six years on that paper under Stead and then Edward T. Cook. 4pp, 12mo. On bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. The final page is smudged, including the signature, which clearly reads J. W. Robertson-Scott , with a hyphen.
