Krátky popis
A story of staggering scope and drama, Revolusi is the masterful
and definitive account of the epic revolution that sparked the
decolonisation of the modern world.'Astounding . . .history at its
best' YUVAL HARARI'A wonderful and important book' PETER
FRANKOPAN'A masterly display of the historian's craft' J M
COETZEEOn a sunny Friday morning in August 1945, a handful of tired
people raised a homemade cotton flag and on behalf of 68 million
compatriots announced the birth of a new nation. With the fourth
largest population in the world, inhabiting islands that span an
eighth of the globe, Indonesia became the first colonised country
to declare its independence after the Second World War.Four million
civilians had died during the wartime occupation by the Japanese
that ousted the Dutch colonial regime. Another 200,000 people would
lose their lives in the astonishingly brutal conflict that ensued -
as the Dutch used savage violence to reassert their control, and as
Britain and America became embroiled in pacifying Indonesia's
guerrilla war of resistance: the 'Revolusi'.It was not until
December 1949 that the newly created United Nations convinced the
Netherlands to cede all sovereignty to Indonesia, finally ending
350 years of colonial rule and setting a precedent that would
reshape the world.Drawing on hundreds of interviews and eye-witness
testimonies, David Van Reybrouck turns this vast and complex story
into an utterly gripping narrative that is alive with human detail
at every turn. A landmark publication, Revolusi shows Indonesia's
struggle for independence to be one of the defining dramas of the
twentieth century and establishes its author as one of the most
gifted narrative historians at work in any language today.'A
magnificent fusion of oral history, sparkling analysis, and
historical wisdom. Revolusi has it all: a masterpiece'SEBASTIAN
MALLABY'At once vast and intimate, a history in colour' LAKSMI
PAMUNTJAK'A magisterial but gripping account of events of urgent
importance to us now' JASON BURKE'Revolusi briskly ushers Indonesia
onto the centre stage of modern history' PANKAJ MISHRA'One of the
most unlikely and astonishing sagas ...a towering achievement'
THOMAS MEANEY'History as it should be' ANTJIE KROG*Featured in the
Financial Times 'What To Read in 2024'*
