Finding Santana by Jolliffe, Jill - 2010

Australia.: Wakefield Press.. 2010.. Map, colour photographic illustrations, 177pp, index, notes, paperback. In Finding Santana Jill Jolliffe tells of her clandestine journey across the Indonesian archipelago pursued by the Suharto dictatorship's notorious secret police. Her goal is an interview with East Timorese guerilla commander Nino Konis Santana. Part memoir, part adventure story, this book is written from the diaries Jill Jolliffe kept, interwoven with those of intrepid nineteenth-century traveller Anna Forbes, who also narrowly escaped death in the East Timor mountains. 'Finding Santana is a gripping story that is every bit as perilous as the subtitle indicates.' - Bonzer Online Magazine 'This is a dramatic story that is superbly written and it serves as a salutary episode of the history of Australia's relations with Indonesia and East Timor.' - Bonzer Online Magazine .
