Nationalism and Revolution in Indonesia cover

Professor Kahin's classic 1952 study, reprinted for a contemporary audience. An immediate, vibrant portrait of a nation in the age of revolution, featuring interviews with many of the chief players. With new illustrations and a new introduction by Benedict R. O'G. Anderson.

When this book was first published in 1952, it was immediately recognized by all reviewers as an outstanding work of scholarship.... Kahin's carefully crafted narrative covered Indonesia's tumultuous struggle for independence from 1945 to 1949 with impressive comprehensiveness. For a researcher digging into that period today, it remains the first book to consult. We are fortunate that such a foundational text remains in print.... The enduring strength of the book lies in the coherency and detail with which it presents the changing composition of the Indonesian nationalist leadership, the debates among the nationalists, and their differing strategies of resistance to the Dutch attempt at restoring imperial rule.
