Young Soeharto: The Making of a Soldier, 1921-1945
"Young Soeharto: The Making of a Soldier, 1921-1945 is a masterpiece. At once comprehensive and compelling, the biography will be a delight to serious scholars and armchair historians alike. While the massive volume runs 503 pages comprising 300 pages of text and over 150 pages of footnotes, bibliography and glossary, it also contains nearly 20 pages of photographs and is beautifully printed. The reader is carried easily on the Jenkins’ smooth prose, sharpened by the Australian journalist’s decades as a reporter and editor of note. [...] Jenkins is masterly in his treatment of the behavior of both Japanese and Indonesians as defeat loomed for the former, and includes information from interviews with former Japanese soldiers who were Soeharto’s superiors and remembered him well. Indeed, another one of the book’s strengths is the knowledge gleaned from Japanese sources." – The Jakarta Post
