Great episode! Not sure if you read these comments Breht but I would love to hear an interview with Vincent Bevins, author of the Jakarta Method. If you haven’t read it it’s an incredible book that came out on the Indonesian genocide of communists.

I’ve read the book and listened to the interview. There are some general spoilers but mostly they just talk about concepts from the book.

Hey Breht! First time long time. Does this episode contain spoilers? Just ordered the book but haven't cracked it open quite yet. Thanks! Matt C
