Аннотация

This succinct work of history charts the growth of Indonesia, a remarkable nation of more than 6,000 inhabited islands.

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
