Description

"On the basis of research in American, Indonesian, Dutch, and Australian diplomatic records as well as the archives of the United Nations, Gouda and Brocades Zaalberg examine American visions of the Dutch East Indies/Indonesia from the 1920's to 1949, when the Kingdom of the Netherlands relinquished sovereignty over its colonial possession in Southeast Asia to the United States of Indonesia. Their new historical analysis suggests that the American diplomatic establishment was not as ignorant of conditions in the Indonesian archipelago as many Dutch people assumed, both before and after World War II."--Jacket.
