THOMAZ (Luís Filipe F. R.). TIMOR: Autópsia de uma Tragédia. Lisboa. 1977. - THOMAZ (Luís Filipe F. R.) TIMOR: Autópsia de uma Tragédia . Prefácio de Henrique Barrilaro Ruas. Capa de Rui Palma Carlos. Lisboa: ed. autor, 1977. 176 pp.: il.; 180 mm. This compilation of articles published in the newspaper O Dia about the events in East Timor following April 25, 1974, is based primarily on oral testimonies collected by the author. The work documents, with great chronological accuracy, the process of Portuguese decolonization in the territory, the rivalry between the UDT, FRETILIN, and APODETI, the civil war that pitted the first two movements against each other in 1975, and the Indonesian invasion in December of that year. It is one of the first published book accounts of what the title describes, without euphemism, as a tragedy. ⚑ Auto-translated via Google Translate
