James DiEugenio Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 This book has a neat idea, telling the story of the Cold War from a Third World perspective. But its a seriously flawed book. One problem is the David Halberstam issue: journalists are not historians. Second, because they are journalists, they usually have agendas. Particularly if they are part of the MSM, as Halberstam and Bevins were and are. https://kennedysandking.com/reviews/the-jakarta-method-by-vincent-bevins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
