Angus McIntyre is senior lecturer in the Department of Politics at LaTrobe University.
This book is indeed a good contribution to comparative politics and
political science in general as well as to the political history of
Indonesia.
*Contemporary Southeast Asia Contemporary Southeast Asia*
Imaginative and insightful. . . . This is certainly and important
book with which the definitive study of Indonesian presidency will
have to engage.
*Political Studies Review*
The Indonesian Presidency is an absorbing book. It takes us
confidently into the intricacies of politics at the top, drawing on
a wide range of sources and on the author's skills as a
psychobiographer, a linguist, an historian, and a political
scientist. This fluent, clear-eyed study is free of jargon and full
of insights. It benefits enormously (as its readers will) from
McIntyre's three and a half decades of sustained involvement with
Indonesia.
