From the internationally best-selling writer, a masterful account of the epic revolution that sparked the decolonization of the modern world. 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.

In the late 19th and early 20th century, a combination of coastal defence for the homeland and fleet defence for the East Indies became the established naval strategy for the Royal Dutch Navy and set the template for the world wars. Battleships were too expensive to build and maintain, so after World War I, there was significant investment in submarine development and construction. A handful of modern light cruisers and a new class of destroyers were also constructed during the interwar years to serve as a small Fleet-in-Being in the East Indies, as well as to support the actions of the navy's submarines. The light cruiser HNLMS De Ruyter and the Java-class light cruisers were the most powerful units of the new fleet whilst the backbone of the destroyer fleet was the Admiralen-class and the Tromp-class of destroyer leaders. Beginning in December 1941, the Dutch Navy played a very active role in the defence of the East Indies against the Japanese during World War II. The Battle of the Java Sea at the end of February 1942 crushed Dutch naval power in the East Indies, sinking the cruisers Java and De Ruyter and killing Admiral Karel Doorman. However, several Dutch surface warships and submarines continued the fight against the Axis powers alongside the Allies until the end of World War II, including a pair of British-built destroyers, Van Galen and Tjerk Hiddes. This beautifully illustrated book from a leading scholar on Dutch military history provides a comprehensive guide to the Royal Netherlands Navy of the World War II period, complete with detailed cutaways and battleplates of the fleet in action.

La lotta per l’indipendenza dell’Indonesia, che toccò il suo culmine negli anni quaranta del secolo scorso, è stata considerata per molto tempo come un conflitto lontano e marginale, tra Paesi Bassi colonizzatori e Indie colonizzate. E invece ha scritto la nostra storia. Dopo la Seconda guerra mondiale e l’occupazione giapponese, l’Indonesia fu il primo Paese a rivendicare con le armi la propria indipendenza; l’intervento prima inglese, poi australiano e, soprattutto, olandese, che avrebbe dovuto riportare l’ordine, non fece che scatenare la prima guerra di decolonizzazione moderna. Quella lotta ispirò i movimenti per l’indipendenza in Asia, Africa e nel mondo arabo, specialmente dopo la “leggendaria” Conferenza di Bandung, organizzata dall’Indonesia libera: “Era il 18 aprile 1955. Mentre in Europa si svolgevano le ultime mostre etnografiche, con anonimi corpi scuri e finte capanne, qui una nuova generazione di capi politici sicuri di sé entrava nella luce del mattino”. La narrazione parte da lontano, dalla preistoria dell’Indonesia, quando l’Homo erectus arrivò dall’Africa a “Giava, che non era ancora un’isola ma, insieme a Sumatra, al Borneo e Bali, era tutt’uno con il resto dell’Asia”, descrivendo il susseguirsi delle epoche, delle culture e degli scambi che resero l’arcipelago un “crocevia di civiltà” e mostrando che anche qui, come in Africa, le lancette della Storia non iniziano a muoversi con l’arrivo degli europei. Van Reybrouck ha lavorato per cinque anni a questa grande opera, intervistando quasi duecento persone, gli ultimi testimoni di quegli avvenimenti ancora in vita, nelle case di riposo indonesiane, nelle metropoli giapponesi e nelle isole più sperdute. Il racconto del Dopoguerra è tutto diverso rispetto a quello a cui siamo abituati.

Una perspicaz reconstrucción de la descolonización de Indonesia, un proceso de alcance e interés mundial. Durante mucho tiempo se ha considerado que la lucha por la independencia de Indonesia, cuyo punto álgido se situó en la década de 1940, fue un conflicto aislado entre la potencia colonial, los Países Bajos, y las colonizadas Indias Orientales Holandesas. El relato que hay detrás es, sin embargo, un impresionante reflejo de la historia mundial. Indonesia fue el primer país en declarar su independencia tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial -pese a la oposición de las tropas británicas, australianas y, sobre todo, neerlandesas- e inspiró movimientos independentistas en Asia, África y el mundo árabe, especialmente al organizar la legendaria Conferencia de Bandung en 1955, la primera conferencia internacional sin Occidente. Con su habitual estilo conmovedor y comprometido, David van Reybrouck ha reconstruido un relato para la historia. Tras entrevistar a casi doscientas personas -los últimos testigos vivos de la revolución- en hogares de ancianos en Indonesia, megaciudades japonesas y e islas lejanas, entreteje una ingente cantidad de recuerdos para explorar de manera reveladora la apasionante crónica de la conquista de la Libertad. Críticas: «El historiador, arqueólogo y escritor belga David van Reybrouck sabe que algunos países necesitan más de 500 páginas. Su volumen sobre Congo tiene 752 páginas magistrales. Su último reto son las 680 dedicadas a Indonesia, el "gigante tranquilo", el primer país en proclamar su independencia al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En Revolución. Indonesia y el nacimiento del mundo moderno, la precisa y elegante escritura de Reybrouck es capaz de ir más allá de la perspectiva nacional y ofrecer el verdadero significado global que tuvo la revolución de uno de los países más grandes y poblados del mundo». Josep Piqué «Monumental. Un libro cuya fuerza, a medida que pasan sus páginas, no hace más que aumentar». De Standaard, periódico «David Van Reybrouck ama la historia oral y la historia oral le ama a él». De Volkskrant, periódico «Una buena investigación, fantástica, un placer para la vista». Gert Oostindie, historiador «Las entrevistas con testigos presenciales y el uso de diarios personales nunca estudiados constituyen un aspecto importante de Revolusi. Van Reybrouck los ha entretejido casi a la perfección en su historia sobre la lucha por la independencia de Indonesia». Nederlands Dagblad, periódico «Sumándose a los muchos libros y documentales sobre las Indias Orientales Holandesas e Indonesia que ya existen, Van Reybrouck sitúa las ambiciones de Indonesia, como primera colonia en declarar la independencia tras la Segunda Guerra Mundial, dentro de una perspectiva más amplia». Algemeen Dagblad, periódico Sobre Congo se dijo: «¡Olvídate de todos los estereotipos sobre África y lee Congo!». Roberto Saviano «Un relato palpitante que se revela también como un extraño espejo en el que mirarnos». Le Monde «Magnífico. Esencial para interesadosen cómo el pasado reciente influye en nuestro futuro. De una lucidez excepcional». The New York Times Book Review «La investigación, la pasión y la originalidad en la escritura de Van Reybrouck son un don. No solo es épico, también es una obra maestra». The Independent

From the steam-powered models introduced in World War I to today's nuclear-powered, multiweaponed technological wonders, submarines have revolutionized warfare on the world's seas. This volume follows the extraordinary development of this key component of the world's navies. Submarines: An Illustrated History of Their Impact reveals how underwater warships evolved to become major threats to battle fleets and merchant shipping, as well as primary platforms for deterrent forces and crucial symbols of military power. In a series of chronological chapters, Submarines describes key developments in diving ability, underwater endurance, and weapons capabilities in specific periods, while highlighting strategic and operational innovations; the role of technological research; famous submarine events, battles, and commanders; and the impact of submarine services on naval society. The book also includes an illustrated reference section covering every submarine class worldwide since 1900. This coverage plus additional reference features make Submarines an essential introduction to a weapons system that has long held the public's imagination.

A new book from this bestselling author covering the events at sea in the early years of World War II, in which he has compiled comprehensive research and insight into a highly readable and detailed account of British and Allied submarine warfare in north European waters at the beginning of the war. The early chapters describe prewar submarine development, including technical advances and limitations, weapons, tactical use and life onboard, and examine the men who crewed them and explore their understanding of the warfare that they would become involved in.The core of the book is an account of the events as they unfolded in 'home waters' from the outset of war to the end of 1940, by which time the majority of the Allied submarines were operating in the Mediterranean. It is a story of success, triumph, failure and tragedy, and it tells of the tremendous courage and endurance shown by a small group of men learning how to fight a new kind of war in claustrophobic, sub-sea vessels with limited information about the enemy, or what they would meet off the alien coasts to which they were heading. Extensive primary sources are used to document the many aspects of this war, some of which remain controversial to this day. Max Horton, Vice Admiral Submarines 1940, said: 'There is no room for mistakes in submarines. You are either alive or dead.' This book makes plain how right he was.
