Description
For a century now Bali has been the subject of a beautiful mythology created by movies and music but there are few factual accounts of its transformation from besieged peasant colony to booming tourist mecca.
It's a tale begging to be told: a story of survival in the face of genocide natural disaster terrorism cultural imperialism and corruption on a grand scale. This updated edition includes a new chapter on Jokowi and the Bali 9 executions.
Go behind the smiling face Bali has presented to generations of tourists and expats with Phil Jarratt award-winning author of over 30 books including Surfing Australia: A Complete History of Surfboard Riding in Australia and That Summer at Boomerang.
