A Short History of Indonesia: The Unlikely Nation? (Short History of Asia series, A) By Colin BrownPublisher: Allen & Unwin Pages: 288 Date: 2004-04-01 ISBN:1865088382 PDF 3.24 MB

This succinct work of history charts the growth of Indonesia, a remarkable nation of more than 6,000 inhabited islands. With lucid originality, the text incorporates more than 2 million years of history with depth and brevity-particularly focusing on Indonesia's development into a microcosm of a multi-ethnic modern world. Many current concerns are perceptively addressed, such as the legacy of European-Asian trade, Dutch colonialism, and the emergence of what has become the largest Muslim population in the world.
