Sommario/riassunto

In this highly respected work, Harold Crouch analyzes the role of the Indonesian army in that country's politics, putting special emphasis on the Sukarno years, the gradual take-over of power by the military, and the nature of Suharto's New Order government. The Army and Politics in Indonesia is now available in a paperback edition, updated with a new preface and epilogue that expand the book's coverage to the 1980's.
