Indonesia, Etc.: Exploring the Improbable Nation
Exploring the Improbable Nation
by Elizabeth Pisani
“A spectacular achievement and one of the very best travel books I have read.”―Simon Winchester, Wall Street Journal
Declaring independence in 1945, Indonesia said it would “work out the details of the transfer of power etc. as soon as possible.” With over 300 ethnic groups spread across over 13,500 islands, the world’s fourth most populous nation has been working on that “etc.” ever since. Author Elizabeth Pisani traveled 26,000 miles in search of the links that bind this disparate nation.
