Not since Kahin's and Anderson's classics, which were published decades ago, have I seen such a powerful explanation of the Indonesian revolution. Historians, anthropologists, and political scientists in the field of Indonesian, Southeast Asian, colonial and post-colonial studies, as well as scholars of literature, nationalism, and identity, will use this book with profit. A 'Siegel School' of Indonesian Studies will be established by this book.

This is an extraordinary book. The virtuosity of the analyses is truly remarkable. Siegel's writing is oftentimes brilliant, and sometimes stunningly powerful.
