Indonesia, Etc. by Elizabeth Pisani
Declaring independence in 1945, Indonesia said it would "work out the details of the transfer of power etc. as soon as possible." With over 300 ethnic groups spread across over 13,500 islands, the world’s fourth most populous nation has been working on that "etc." ever since. Author Elizabeth Pisani traveled 26,000 miles in search of the links that bind this disparate nation.

"Beautifully written, richly entertaining." -- The Economist
"A rollicking good adventure…To read Indonesia Etc. is to grow rather fond of both author and country." -- Pallavi Aiyar - Los Angeles Review of Books

"Intrepid and passionate…Profound, lasting, a masterpiece of its genre—and so much fun!" -- Amy Wilentz, author of The Rainy Season and Farewell, Fred Voodoo
