- Summary
- "Since the Bali bombings of 2002 and the rise of political Islam, Indonesia has frequently occupied media headlines. Nevertheless, the history of the fourth largest country on earth remains relatively unknown. Adrian Vickers,Ŵs book, first published in 2005, traces the history of an island country, comprising some 240 million people, from the colonial period through revolution and independence to the present.

In this new edition, the author brings the story up to date, revisiting his argument as to why Indonesia has yet to realize its potential as a democratic country.
