As Indonesia's leading Muslim politician in the second half of the
20th century, Mohammad Natsir (1908-1993) went from heading the
country's first post-independence government and largest Islamic
political party to spending years in rebellion and in jail under
the Soekarno regime. After initially welcoming Soekarno's overthrow
in 1965, he became one of the most outspoken critics of the
successor Suharto government's increasingly autocratic rule.
Natsir's copious writings stretch from his student days in the late
colonial period, when his debates with Soekarno over the character
of Indonesian nationalism first attracted public attention, to the
years immediately preceding his death when his trenchant criticisms
brought him the enmity of the Suharto regime. They reveal a man
struggling to harmonise his deep Islamic faith with his equally
firm belief in national independence and democracy.
