KOPASSUS
Inside Indonesia's Special Forces
By Ken Conboy
In a nation where the military has played an influential social and political role since its founding, perhaps no unit has wielded more power–and seen more action–than Kopassus, Indonesia's Special Forces. From the jungles of Irian Jaya to the backrooms of Jakarta's most powerful political figures, this elite group of commandos has influenced nearly every major policy decision taken since its inception in 1952.
Here, for the first time, this secretive and controversial unit
is exposed in KOPASSUS: Inside Indonesia's Special Forces
by acclaimed author Ken Conboy. In this new age of terrorism and
counter-terrorism, and especially in the wake of the October 2002
Bali bombing, understanding Kopassus is an integral part of understanding
the politics of modern Indonesia. This book is essential reading
for anyone interested in unconventional warfare, contemporary Indonesian
history, and the brushfire wars that have swept the Indonesian archipelago
over the past fifty years.
