Waiting for explosions, the city smells of frangipani, kretek cigarettes, and fear. It it the year of living dangerously.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe charismatic god-king Sukarno has brought Indonesia to the edge of chaos, to an abortive revolution that will leave 500,000 dead. For the Western correspondents here, this gathering apocalypse is their story and their drug, while the sufferings of the Indonesian people are scarcely real: a shadow play.\u003cbr\u003e\nWorking at the eye of the storm are television correspondent Guy Hamilton and his eccentric dwarf cameraman Billy Kwan. In Kwan's secret fantasy life, both Sukarno and Hamilton are heroes. But his heroes betray him, and Billy is driven to desperate action. As the Indonesian shadow play erupts into terrible reality, a complex personal tragedy of love, obsession and betrayal comes to a climax. \u003cbr\u003e\n Dimensions:130 x 200  \u003cbr\u003e\n Author: Christopher Koch \u003cbr\u003e\n ISBN: 9781863306133 \u003cbr\u003e\n Format: Paperback \u003cbr\u003e\n Pages 304\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"bookhero.ae","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44692364689561,"sku":"1RC9781863306133","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0580\/5696\/6297\/files\/b97f8aa046aaa2c1e38304819ade1672.jpg?v=1722322925","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.ae\/products\/the-year-of-living-dangerously","provider":"Dubai - Buy Used\/Second-Hand Books - BookHero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
