Thanks Paul.
I will have to ask Greg about that when he returns from Jakarta. He was leaving right after that show.
But you are correct, IMO that stuff he got across was very crucial. Writers have been walking around in the dark trying to put together exactly how the overthrow worked. But the info Greg got from LaTief was the missing link to how it happened. I have to say, it was pretty clever. They colonels did not go to Suharto's since he was a part of it. He then did not show, but his friend and agent did. They were not supposed to kill the suspects originally. That was added to it by Sjam.
I really hope that Greg writes his book about 1965.
