Modern Indonesia: A History since 1945 – Southeast Asian History
Cribb, R. B.
Longman 1995 Dewey Dec. 959.8
“One of [East Asia’s] least known but potentially most important actors is Indonesia, whose vast territory of over 3000 islands proclaimed its independence after the ending of Japanese occupation in 1945. This concise but trenchant account of its history – the turbulent years under Sukarno followed by transformation, stability but international withdrawal under Suharto – is currently without a competitor. It provides an invaluable introduction to a republic which, under a younger, more self-confident generation, seems poised to assume a regional and global role commensurate with its status as the world’s fourth most populous nation.” – Publisher.

It is intended as a contribution to the ongoing discussion of democracy in the new states of Asia and Africa, of the ways in which Western political institutions are transformed when employed in non-Western social settings, and of the obstacles to be overcome if such institutions are to operate in consonance with the authority systems of new nations and with their solution of economic and administrative problems.” – Publisher.

Living Silence: Burma Under Military Rule – Southeast Asia History PDF
Fink, Christina

“Burma is governed by a repressive military dictatorship, its economy has collapsed, and it is the second largest producer of heroin in the world. In this exceptionally readable yet scholarly account of Burma today, Christina Fink gives a moving and insightful picture of what life under military rule is like. Through the extensive interviews conducted inside and outside the country, we begin to understand the accommodations that people feel compelled to make in order to carry on with daily life, including the innovative forms of resistance that some courageous Burmese have engaged in.” -Publisher.

Indonesian Destinies – Books on Southeast Asia
Friend, Theodore
Belknap Press of Harvard University 2003 Dewey Dec. 959.8
“How can such a gentle people as we are be so murderous? a prominent Indonesian asks. That question–and the mysteries of the archipelago’s vast contradictions–haunt Theodore Friend’s remarkable work, a narrative of Indonesia during the last half century, from the postwar revolution against Dutch imperialism to the unrest of today. Part history, part meditation on a place and a past observed firsthand, Indonesian Destinies penetrates events that gave birth to the world’s fourth largest nation and assesses the continuing dangers that threaten to tear it apart. Rarely have narrative history and personal historical witness been so seamlessly joined.” -Publisher. Southeast Asia history books pdf, Indonesia history books pdf.
