Article number 10218708

The book The Indonesian National Revolution, 1945–1950 by Anthony Reid presents a concise, analytic account of Indonesia’s struggle for independence from Dutch colonial rule in the immediate aftermath of World War II, exploring how nationalist leaders proclaimed a republic in 1945, mobilized broad support amid social upheaval and military conflict, and resisted efforts by Dutch and allied forces to reassert control, making the conflict a defining moment in the collapse of Western colonialism and a foundational chapter in modern Indonesian history.
