Merdeka Square

The Asian Trilogy #1

by Kerry B. Collison

Tense, intelligent and gripping, Merdeka Square presents a rich portrayal of the terrifying crisis which brought General Suharto to power, and the deadly aftermath which claimed more than one million lives throughout the Indonesian Archipelago.

Was 'the coup' the work of communists, President Sukarno's own sympathisers, the US backed Council of Generals, or simply a master-stroke by the ambitions General Suharto?

Merdeka Square explores an exotic, shadowy world, mixing undoubted fact and exciting fiction in an intoxicating form that will fascinate both Asian and European readers.

[Luz · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author obviously has inside knowledge of Indonesia and his ability to predict future events, some of which have since taken place, is remarkable.
The books are well written and exciting. I rate them among the very best "secret service" novels that I have read. 5/5 ⭐️
