Résumé du livre
Tense, intelligent and gripping, Merdeka Square presents a rich portrayal of the terrifying crisis which brought General Suharto to power, and the deadly aftermath which claimed more than one million lives throughout the Indonesian Archipelago.
Was 'the coup' the work of communists, President Sukarno's own sympathisers, the US backed Council of Generals, or simply a master-stroke by the ambitions General Suharto? Merdeka Square explores an exotic, shadowy world, mixing undoubted fact and exciting fiction in an intoxicating form that will fascinate both Asian and European readers. 'Collison puts the Indonesian experience into perspective.' - Sydney Telegraph
