Max Lane
- London : Verso Books, 2008
- viii, 312 p.
Study of the development of political struggle in Indonesia from anti-colonialism to the overthrow of Suharto. Shows in particular how grass roots movements were the primary instruments of Suharto's fall rather than pressure from national elites or external powers. Also considers what direction Indonesian politics may take in the near future (epilogue written in early 2008).
