Reformasi - The Struggle for Power in Post-Soeharto Indonesia

Reformasi relates Indonesia’s political events from 1996 through 2001—a period marked by tumult, intrigue, tragedy and mystery.
The book is deliberately broad in scope, and it seeks to provide a ‘holistic’ account—that is, one that integrates subjects (such as banking, Islam and military history) that are too often considered in isolation. Because the events of the period lend themselves to a narrative format, the book proceeds chronologically. I have also sought to capture the drama of this period, but I have tried to avoid melodrama and ‘craftsmanship’. I have therefore aspired to relating the events in a clear and credible style; the intention is to let the events and protagonists convey their own drama.
