Offering the first comprehensive history of U.S relations with
Indonesia during the 1960s, Economists with Guns explores one of
the central dynamics of international politics during the Cold War:
the emergence and U.S. embrace of authoritarian regimes pledged to
programs of military-led development. Drawing on newly declassified
archival material, Simpson examines how Americans and Indonesians
imagined the country's development in the 1950s and why they
abandoned their democratic hopes in the 1960s in favor of Suharto's
military regime. Far from viewing development as a path to
democracy, this book highlights the evolving commitment of
Americans and Indonesians to authoritarianism in the 1960s on.
