Review
`Kingsbury has produced a book which can now be referenced for historical detail regarding the final days of Suharto's reign, as well as for contemporary analysis of politics in Indonesia ... Kingsbury provides some new insight and exciting investigation. (...) As an introduction to the institutions, characters, ideologies and methods that influence politics in Indonesia this is a comprehensive and very accessible book. For those more familiar with Indonesian politics, it is probably the first attempt to capture the period of greatest political upheaval in Indonesia for 30 years and therefore provides valuable insight into who the major players were during those last months and weeks.' Jemma Purdey, University of Melbourne, ?? jrnl??
Product Description
Indonesian political life encompasses power plays; making and winning fabulous fortunes; loyalty and betrayal; jealousy and intrigue; and violence both symbolic and real. Charting the rise--and fall-- of President Suharto, this book provides an up-to-date overview of such contentious issues as the political role of the armed forces, corruption, human rights, economic development, and national unity. Based on interviews and conversations with insiders, this book is the most accessible and up-to-date account available of the political history and prospects of the world's largest Muslim nation.
