Review
"The year is 1965, and President Sukarno warns of the danger from the explosion of Indonesia's legendary volcano. Human emotions erupt instead among a group of Western newsmen whose relationships are the sordid counterpart of an exotic Javanese puppet shadow in a land 'whose children are more numerous, its women more beautiful and its land more fertile' than any other in the world."
