Reviews
An electrifying narrative...The strength of Mr. Van Reybrouck's chronicle lies as much in the hundreds of interviews he conducted with very old participants in (and witnesses to) the war as in his impressive command of historical detail., This meticulous history of Indonesia spans several centuries, focusing on Dutch colonization of the archipelago and a drawn-out internal revolution that embroiled British, American and Japanese forces., A long overdue and utterly compelling narrative history of the birth of Indonesia...It is as intricate as the waterways of the archipelago and yet it hums along, like a steamer on the Java Sea, propelled by the stories of its astonishing cast., [David Van Reybrouck] is a historian who gets his boots dirty. From remote Asian islands to Dutch nursing homes, [he] has tracked down eyewitnesses to Indonesia's colonial period, producing the definitive account of a neglected epoch., A comprehensive, authoritative, and highly readable history. Seamlessly interwoven with hundreds upon hundreds of personal testimonies, David Van Reybrouck's narrative is a masterly display of the historian's craft and a welcome corrective to the fiction that the Dutch in the East Indies were a benign force., Among the book's many gifts--the depth of its research, the breadth of its inquiries, the poetry of its prose--it is this that has affected me the most: the insistence and humility of finding and allowing these voices, these eyewitnesses to history, to come to the fore. With scientific meticulousness and a rare narrative brilliance, Revolusi gives us a history at once vast and intimate, a history in color., A rare blend of formal daring, intellectual resourcefulness, and journalistic fluency, Revolusi briskly ushers Indonesia onto the center stage of modern history. It reveals, too, decolonization as the main event of the twentieth century--what has shaped our present and will decisively define the future., History as it should be! Carried by a democracy of ordinary voices, meticulous research, an eye for decisive detail, vivid language, and drama, David Van Reybrouck forges a fantastic visionary compass to where history was heading at the time...the imagining of a new world order by people of color., An outstanding account of one nation's unsung fight for freedom...The firsthand narratives are enthralling...[A] magnificent book., A magnificent fusion of oral history, sparkling analysis, and historical wisdom. Revolusi has it all: a masterpiece., Passionate, rigorous, perceptive, powerful, and highly readable. Van Reybrouck combines a historian's clear analytic eye with a journalist's joy at discovering and recounting the experiences of participants in great events. This is a magisterial but gripping account of events of urgent importance to us now., David Van Reybrouck's immensely readable new history...fills an important gap....Van Reybrouck has visited just about every place that figures in Indonesia's history, and evokes them with a narrative zest all too rare among historians., This powerful account of the colonization of Indonesia takes the form of a people's history, using interviews with those who lived under--and sometimes defied--Dutch rule., A majestic and beautifully written ode to revolution that aims to remind us of the immense significance of this period of history...Compellingly written and marvellously translated.
Synopsis
On a sunny Friday morning in August 1945, a handful of people raised a homemade cotton flag and, on behalf of 68 million compatriots, announced the birth of a new nation. With the fourth largest population in the world, inhabiting islands that span an eighth of the globe, Indonesia became the first country to rid itself of colonial rule after World War II. In this vivid history, renowned scholar and celebrated author of Congo David Van Reybrouck captures a period of extraordinary tumult and chaos to tell the story of Indonesia's momentous revolution, known as the "Revolusi." Encompassing several hundred years of history, he details the formation of the Dutch East Indies, the Japanese invasion that followed, and the young rebels who engaged in armed resistance once the occupation ended. British and Dutch troops were sent to restore order and keep peace, but instead ignited the first modern war of decolonization. America, too, became embroiled with the Indonesians' fierce struggle for freedom. That struggle inspired independence movements in Asia, Africa, and the Arab world, especially in the wake of Indonesia's monumental 1955 Bandung Conference, the first global conference without the West. The whole world had become involved in Revolusi, and the whole world was changed by it. Drawing on hundreds of interviews and eyewitness testimonies, David Van Reybrouck turns this vast and complex story into an utterly gripping narrative, written with remarkable historical clarity and filled with tragedy and passion. A landmark history, Revolusi cements Indonesia's struggle for independence as one of the defining dramas of the twentieth century and entirely reframes our understanding of post-colonialism., Shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize * Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize A New Yorker Best Book of 2024 * An Economist Best Book of the Year * A Financial Times Best Book of the Year * A Marginal Revolution pick for Best Nonfiction of the Year * A Chicago Public Library Must-Read for 2024 * A Five Books Best Book of the Year * A Prospect Magazine Best Book of 2024 From the internationally best-selling writer, a masterful account of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonization of the modern world., Shortlisted for the Cundill History Prize * Shortlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize From the internationally best-selling writer, a masterful account of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonization of the modern world.
