Abdurrahman Wahid , Muslim Democrat, Indonesian President: A View from the Inside

In humiliating circumstances, Indonesia's first democratically elected president, Abdurrahman Wahid, was forced from office in July 2001 after less that two years in the job. Wahid, almost blind and still recovering from a near-fatal stroke, was widely misunderstood in the West. Sometimes he was even seen as a somewhat comical figure. In this authorised biography, much of it based on unique first-hard observation, Greg Barton introduces us to both the man and his world and attempts to make sense of his controversial public career and presidency.Barton, Greg is the author of 'Abdurrahman Wahid , Muslim Democrat, Indonesian President: A View from the Inside' with ISBN 9780868404059 and ISBN 0868404055.
