This book traces the often tumultuous history of U.S-Indonesian
relations as experienced by those who witnessed it in the making.
Incorporating the perspectives of participants from both nations,
Paul Gardner focuses on a number of key phases in the relationship:
the U.S. role in Indonesia's struggle for independence; the strains
of the Cold War era, including covert U.S. support for Indonesian
rebels in Sumatra and Sulawesi; U.S. mediation of the dispute over
western New Guinea; the communist "coup" in 1965 and its violent
aftermath; and the crucial U.S. role in organizing a multinational
recovery effort for Indonesia's economy after the creation of its
New Order in 1968. The book also addresses current issues,
including economic differences, democratic development, and East
Timor, and other human rights concerns.Gardner, himself a witness
of key events, draws on interviews, personal papers, and recently
declassified documents to provide an intimate view of the
aspirations, insights, and acts of courage that built the
Indonesian relationship; the fears, intrigue, and blunders that
threatened it; and the complex issues the two nations face today.
