An assessment is given of PKI strength in NTT in 1965, along with an analysis of the killings, including the numbers killed, who carried out the killings, who was targeted, and the fate of those captured, but not killed. Consideration is also given to the ongoing effects in NTT of accusations of PKI membership. %K West Timor %K Nusa Tenggara Timur %K Partai Komunis Indonesia %U http://www.kitlv-journals.nl/index.php/btlv/article/view/7700
