In Suharto's Cold War, Mattias Fibiger not only situates the consolidation of the Suharto regime in Indonesia in the late 1960s and 1970s within the global Cold War context but also shows the consequences of the anti-communist turn in Indonesia under Suharto for the direction of the Cold War across Southeast Asia during this period. The book thus offers a major contribution to our understanding of the history of modern Indonesia and Southeast Asia, and of the Cold War. * John T. Sidel, London School of Economics and Political Science * Fibiger's well-researched book provides an incomparably detailed account of an all-important moment in the story of the Cold War in the Third World: the violent ending in the mid-1960s of President Sukarno's project of non-alignment and the founding of President Suharto's US-allied dictatorship. By revealing what the Cold War looked like from Jakarta, Fibiger re-orients our understanding of international relations history. * John Roosa, author of Buried Histories: The Anticommunist Massacres of 1965-1966 in Indonesia *
