In the Santa Cruz cemetery, where Indonesian troops opened fire on a peaceful funeral procession in 1991, I was intrigued by a gravestone for three brothers who, the inscription told me, had been “murdered in Maubara” in September 1975. Not knowing where to begin, I visited the cemeteries, the closest I could come to an archive. Before then my knowledge of East Timor was limited to a rather casual study of the Indonesian military units that had served in the occupied territory. This project began soon after I moved to Dili in 2001 to teach at the newly established National University of East Timor.
