Description
A gripping narrative that brings to life one of the most pivotal moments in modern history. In August 1945, Indonesia declared its independence from Dutch colonial rule, marking the birth of a new nation and setting a precedent for decolonisation around the world. The story is one of staggering scope and drama, spanning four years of conflict and bloodshed as the Dutch attempted to reassert their control and the Indonesian people fought for their freedom. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and eyewitness testimonies, David Van Reybrouck masterfully weaves together a narrative that is alive with human detail at every turn. This landmark publication sheds new light on one of the defining dramas of the twentieth century, and establishes its author as one of the most gifted narrative historians working today.
