I concur to say that it was definitely impressive, albeit the alliance with CIA (USA) and illegal trades with the Chinese Indonesians to finance his operation, for Suharto to utilize the opportunity that G 30 S PKI event had presented upon him. Suharto used his mighty wits, luck, connection, management skills, and cunning strategy to seize the moment and to rise up above all as the clear winner.

He was perhaps, among the true masters of political deceits and deceptions, the world has ever known.
