Op 8 december 1941, een dag na de Japanse aanval op Pearl Harbor, verklaarde de Nederland de oorlog aan Japan. Drie maanden later staakte het Koninklijk Nederlands-Indisch Leger (KNIL) de strijd. Zo begon de Japanse bezetting van de belangrijkste Nederlandse kolonie, die voortduurde tot 15 augustus 1945. De Nederlands-Japanse Oorlog was onderdeel van de blitzkriegachtige opmars van Japan in Zuidoost-Azië. De Japanners waren veel beter getraind en uitgerust dan de geallieerden die hun strijdkrachten hadden samengevoegd in het American-British-Dutch-Australian Command. Tijdens de Eerste Slag in de Javazee (27/28 februari 1942) kwam schrijnend het verschil tussen de moderne Japanse militaire zeemacht en die van de geallieerden aan het licht. Een geallieerd eskader van veertien oorlogsbodems onder leiding van schout-bij-nacht Karel Doorman was kansloos tegen een vloot van achttien Japanse schepen. In deze ongelijke strijd, inclusief de Tweede Slag in de Javazee op 1 maart, sneuvelden tweeduizend geallieerde marinemannen, onder wie ruim negenhonderd Nederlanders. Nederland verloor bij de Eerste Slag de kruisers Hr. Ms. De Ruyter en Hr. Ms. Java alsook de jager Hr. Ms. Kortenaer. Deze zeeslag maakte voor de duur van de Tweede Wereldoorlog een einde aan de zelfstandige oppervlaktevloot van de Koninklijke Marine. Bij de Tweede Slag werden nog eens drie geallieerde schepen tot zinken gebracht en maakten de Japanners achthonderd krijgsgevangenen. Dit was de laatste grote zeeslag die de Japanners in de wateren rond Nederlands-Indië leverden. Ze konden nu ongehinderd hun verovering van Nederlands-Indië voltooien en hun heerschappij over geheel Oost-Azië bezegelen. Slag in de Javazee beschrijft niet alleen de twee slagen in de Javazee en het Nederlandse optreden, maar ook andere relevante gebeurtenissen uit de korte Nederlands-Japanse Oorlog van december 1941-maart 1942. De tekst wordt verlevendigd met verslagen van deelnemers aan de strijd.

Though few realize it, the Netherlands East Indies were the object of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. Likewise, their invasions of Guam, Wake Island and the Philippines were mainly diversionary operations to safeguard their main assault on Dutch and British colonies. Since the end of World War I, Japan had coveted the vast East Indies oil reserves, and the colony had feared invasion since Germany overran Holland in May 1940. Isolated politically the weakly defended archipelago was a tempting prize. The East Indies government initially maintained a strict policy of neutrality while desperately working to build up its military strength. As Japanese actions pushed the region toward war, the Dutch reluctantly embraced closer ties with America and Britain. For a brief period, the East Indies were key players in Pacific War strategy. This book details for the first time in English the Dutch prewar strategy, their efforts to counter Japanese espionage and their sizable though largely forgotten military contribution in the early months of the Pacific War.

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.

At the end of 1941, Imperial Japan targeted The East Indies in an attempt to secure access to precious oil resources. The Netherlands East Indies Campaign featured complex Japanese and Allied operations, and included the first use of airborne troops in the war. This highly illustrated study is one of the less well-known campaigns of the Pacific War. Imperial Japan's campaigns of conquest in late 1941/early 1942 were launched in order to achieve self-sufficiency for the Japanese people, chiefly in the precious commodity of oil. The Netherlands (or Dutch) East Indies formed one of Japan's primary targets, on account of its abundant rubber plantations and oilfields. The Japanese despatched an enormous naval task force to support the amphibious landings over the vast terrain of the Netherlands East Indies. The combined-arms offensive was divided into three groups: western, centre and eastern. The isolated airfields and oilfields were, however, picked off one by one by the Japanese, in the rush to secure the major islands before major Allied reinforcements arrived. This superbly illustrated title describes the operational plans and conduct of the fighting by the major parties involved, and assesses the performance of the opposing forces on the battlefield, bringing to life an often-overlooked campaign of the Pacific War.

The Java Sea Campaign is the story of the Japanese conquest of the Netherlands East Indies. Strictly speaking, the history of the United States Navy's participation in that campaign should begin with the arrival of our Asiatic Fleet in the Indies and the beginning of our active cooperation with the British and Dutch. It is difficult, however, to set a definite date for such a beginning. Several of our ships were sent into the East Indies in the latter part of November 1941, and various units of our fleet followed at intervals all through December. Moreover, the conquest of the Indies by the Japanese was merely the culmination of a single, carefully planned campaign which opened with their attack on the Philippines and Malaya. Their advance into the Dutch possessions was carefully coordinated with and dependent upon their successes in these other theatres. While our defense of the Philippines is the subject of a separate narrative (in preparation), some reference must be made to events there to explain the situation at the opening of the Java Sea Campaign.

In the Highest Degree Tragic tells the heroic story of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet’s sacrifice defending the Dutch East Indies from the Japanese in the first three months of the Pacific War. Donald M. Kehn Jr.’s comprehensive narrative history of the operations involving multiple ships and thousands of men dramatically depicts the chaotic nature of these battles. His research has uncovered evidence of communications failures, vessels sinking hundreds of miles from where they had been reported lost, and entire complements of men simply disappearing off the face of the earth. Kehn notes that much of the fleet went down with guns blazing and flag flying, highlighting, where many others have failed to do so, the political and strategic reasons for the fleet’s deployment to the region in the first place. In the Highest Degree Tragic rectifies the historical record, showcasing how brave yet all-too-human sailors and officers carried out their harrowing tasks. Containing rare first-person accounts and anecdotes, from the highest command echelons down to the lowest enlisted personnel, Kehn’s book is the most comprehensive and exhaustive study to date of this important part of American involvement in World War II.

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

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.
