Using vivid colour illustrations and rare photos, this title depicts the various forces involved in the struggle for Indonesia: the British Indian Army troops sent to key areas to disarm Japanese garrisons, the Indonesian nationalists who immediately proclaimed an independent Republic, remaining Japanese troops, and the Dutch forces which arrived in 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wide dispersion of populations, and their ethnic, religious and political differences ensured that the struggle which followed was complex.
