About
"This analysis of US policy towards Indonesian nationalism concludes that Truman's support for independence was based on his Cold War priorities and not principled backing for self-determination. It reveals how Eisenhower's 'New Look' led to a disastrous CIA-backed intervention in 1957 and 1958 and propelled Indonesia towards the Soviet bloc." "Exposing the extent of Australian influence on US policy, this account reveals how the personal prejudices of Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles undermined the notion of rational policy-making."--Jacket.
