Try Peter's book American War Machine for everything McCoy leaves out...and there's a review of Politics of Heroin that Peter wrote in the early 1970's For Indonesia, read Peter's 1985 article "The United States and the Overthrow of Sukarno" as well as Greg Poulgrain's book 'JFK vs. Allen Dulles'

As someone currently finishing Politics of Heroin and having read Jakarta Method, these kinds of episodes are always fascinating. Aaron do you have any suggestions on readings that bridge the gap with those two books?
