Description
 
Gangsters and Revolutionaries is the first in-depth study of one of the people's armies which emerged from the chaos at the close of WWII in Indonesia independence in 1945. It traces the story of the People's Militia of Greater Jakarta from its origins as a loose network of petty criminals and labor bosses in the slums of urban Jakarta and the feudal estates of the surrounding countryside to is destruction at the hands of the Indonesian army in the late 1940s.

This book examines the social basis of the Indonesian revolution, especially the ways in which the revolutionary forces made use of existing social structures in mobilizing a popular following. It also highlights the painful process by which the new Indonesian state discarded and suppressed groups which had been instrumental in its own rise to power.
