Soft cover. Condition: New. 2nd Edition. 397 p. Includes: illustrations, index, bibliography. This volume describes the most serious threat to the pluralistic nature of the Indonesian society and its secular government posed by an attempt of the Communist Party of Indonesia (PKI) to seize power on October 1, 1965. While the army under General Suharto to thwarted the attempt, had the coup succeeded there is no doubt that an intensive class warfare would have destroyed the political parties, religious organizations and entire social classes committed to the preservation of the multifaceted pluralism in the country. The book deals with the establishment of the Biro Chusus by the Chairman of the Communist Party, D.N. Aidit in 1964, and the methods used by its director Sjam and his staff to penetrate the armed forces and recruit Marshal Omar Dani, General Pranoto, General Supardjo, Colonel Untung, Colonel Latief and score of other officers for the promotion of the PKI's objectives. The study then discusses the collapse of President Sukarno on August 4, 1965 due to the failure of his kidneys, and his order to Untung to purge the army's top command to prevent its political ascendancy should the attack leave the president incapacitated. The three meetings of PKI's Executive Committee, held in the middle of August 1965, are documented to show how the committee authorized Aidit and the Politbiro to use Untung and his associates to carry out the purge, the destruction of the top generals to be followed by the PKI's assumption of power in the country.

"Histories of wars, revolutions and great political and social upheavals are written by the victors. This is particularly true about the Bolshevik coup d'etat in Russia in October 1917. This book is about the aftermath of that coup, and it has been written from the point of view of the vanquished. It discuses the rise of the constitutional alternative to Soviet rule in Russia and Siberia during the summer of May 1918, its program and quest for Allied intervention. The alternative, its rise described in PART I, had been deriving its constitutional legitimacy from the results of the election to the All Russia Constituent Assembly, held across the country during November-December 1917. After Lenin dissolved this new supreme law making body of the land on January 6, 1918, and replaced it with one party dictatorship, its elected members, and the parties they represented, remained the legitimate bearers of the sovereign rights of the Russian state, as well as of the liberal and democratic gains of the March 1917 Revolution. PART I traces the rise of this alternative by describing the political and military activities of the Party of Socialist Revolutionaries, who had won 62% of the seats in the Assembly, and of the Constitutional Democrats. PART I further traces the invitation these two parties had extended the Allies in the middle of May, to send a large military expedition to Russia to help in its political and military rehabilitation. The Provisional Government of Siberia, the constitutional alternative to Soviet rule established in Tomsk, Siberia, in January 1918, had invited the Allies to intervene as early as March 1918. The Zemstvos, the elected Provincial Assemblies of the Far Eastern provinces, had also issued similar invitations by that time. And when on September 23, 1918, a Provisional Government of All Russia was established in Ufa, this most authentic voice of the people of Russia urged the Allies to intervene to assist in the political and military rehabilitation of the country so that Russia could rejoin the Alliance and renew war against the Central Powers. PART II discusses the seizure of the entire Trans-Siberian Railway, from the Volga to Vladivostok, by the Czech Legion between the end of May and of the end August 1918. It also describes the fall of Soviet rule on these vast expanses of land and its replacement by legitimate constitutional authorities and their yearning for Allied assistance. These two auspicious developments made the intervention a practical possibility by enabling the Allied forces to access Central Russia, to be welcomed by a friendly and enthusiastic population. However, the Allies were not permitted to take advantage of this "Spring of Great Opportunities", which had offered itself in Russia and Siberia at that time, because of President Wilson's tenacious opposition to all Allied plans to respond to these invitations and intervene to assist the constitutional alternative to assume its legitimate mandate. The book concludes that the defeat of the constitutional forces and the entrenchment of Bolshevik rule in Russia was not a "historical inevitability", had President Wilson thrown his support behind the constitutionalists during the spring and summer of 1918, as urged upon him by the Allies and by practically all American diplomats and military serving in Russia at that time. Because of its approach, the book contributes to the literature on the new emerging trend in the philosophy of history and its methodology, which is anti-deterministic and counterfactual."

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1995. xvi, 494pp. B&W maps. ""The Collapse of American Policy in Russia and Siberia, 1918: March-October" provides a detailed analysis of the United States involvement in Russia during the tumultuous period of the Russian Revolution and the subsequent Russian Civil War. The book focuses on the period from March to October 1918, a critical time when American policy in the region began to unravel amidst the chaos of the Russian collapse into civil conflict. The work examines the strategic objectives of the U.S. government in sending military and financial support to the anti-Bolshevik forces, known as the White Russians, in their struggle against the Bolshevik Red Army. It explores the challenges faced by American diplomats and military personnel in a volatile environment marked by shifting allegiances, unpredictable conditions, and complex internal Russian politics. The book highlights the miscalculations, lack of coordination, and shifting priorities that contributed to the failure of American efforts to influence the outcome of the Russian Revolution. It provides insight into the broader context of U.S. foreign policy at the time, including the global impact of World War I and the early efforts of the United States to extend its influence in post-revolutionary Russia. Drawing on diplomatic correspondence, military reports, and primary sources, "The Collapse of American Policy" offers a critical assessment of the early 20th-century American intervention in Russia. It provides valuable perspectives on the limits of U.S. power, the failure to understand the internal dynamics of Russian politics, and the broader implications for American foreign policy in the years that followed. This book is an essential resource for scholars of Russian history, international relations, and U.S. foreign policy during a pivotal moment in global history."
