On October 12, 2002, Bali seemed to crumble overnight, when hundreds
of tourists and locals who were enjoying themselves became victims
of two horrific bomb blasts. The bombs took the lives of 202 people
- 88 of whom were Australians, and severely injured many more.
The Bali
bombing brought Australians closer to the terror which has dominated
world headlines for over a year. Dewi Anggraeni's book - Who
Did This To Our Bali? - presents a comprehensive summary of the
event, the investigation and the main perpetrators.
Dewi's work as an Indonesian journalist in Australia puts her
in a unique position to observe and understand how the tragedy
of the Bali
bombing has played out in Australia, Bali and elsewhere in Indonesia.
Indonesians
and foreign observers alike have been pondering whether "Indonesian
Islam" remains as moderate, liberal and tolerant as many had believed.
Part of this book is about Dewi's
own journey through this pondering.
