		Mirroring the rise and demise of one of the region's other dictators, Indonesia's General Mohammed Suharto, it was the perceived communist threat at the height of the cold war in the mid-1960s that enabled Thanom, the son of a junior government functionary, to cement his power.
		Thanom did not participate in it, and led a relatively subdued existence for the last three decades of his life.
