Indonesia: An Eyewitness Account

Indonesia: An Eyewitness Account

Michael Maher
4.1/5 ( ratings)
Michael Maher was sent to Jakarta as the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's Indonesian correspondent in 1993. This book is his account of the next six tumultuous years.

Maher states in the introduction that his aim was to write an "accessible" book that was not intended to be exhaustive and which would go some way towards "lifting the veil" on Indonesia. He succeeds, with a perceptive and entertaining narrative style, in conveying the feelings, moods and the reality of the people and situations behind the stark headlines. Through his sympathetic and compassionate view we are privy to what is, ultimately, a sad story of lives and cultures, and of opportunities destroyed in this vibrant country through corruption, fragmentation and lack of leadership.
