Wrappers lightly worn with some light shelf-wear to the extremities present. Book is free of ownership marks. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Two reports made in 1943 an…d 1944 to the Gunseikanbu by Putera's General Director, Mohammad Hatta. This collection of documents-whose primary author is the Indonesian revolutionary leader, Mohammad Hatta-sheds new light on the organization Putera, which was composed mainly of the Indonesian political elite in collaboration with the Japanese. The main goals of the two were dissimilar, but the short-term goals and policies were the same and the failures, difficulties, and complexities of the organization are the main subject of these reports. Emphasizing the small successes and problems of the effort to bring various kinds of change and development to Java, these documents focus on local rather than national issues, and thus present a more realistic view of Japanese occupation. With sections on physical education, public welfare, women, the press and radio, and finance, they provide an interesting account of wartime Java. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
