Indonesias War over Aceh

Since 2001, Indonesias military commitment to Aceh province resulted in one of Southeast Asias largest wars for decades. Indonesias War over Aceh presents the background and history of this war, investigating its domestic and international implications, at a time when the recent tsunami catastrophe has brought Aceh to world attention.

From monitoring and coercing Acehs civilians to manipulating overseas perceptions, Indonesias military-dominated state deployed its fighting forces in politically repressive campaigns aimed at destabilizing and eliminating Acehnese resistance. Rebellious Aceh exposes many fundamental vulnerabilities of the Indonesian state itself, where possible secession has often provoked extreme and uncompromising reactions from Jakartas ruling elites. So severe are the challenges posed by Acehnese separatism that Indonesias post-New Order government has lobbied aggressively, and re-embraced censorship and disinformation, all of which have distorted many important facts about the war and its causes.

Using military doctrinal references and extensive, original research, Davies reconstructs reported events, combatant forces, terminology, and statistical data to expose many of the wars sensitive issues. He challenges others preceding research by detailing the Indonesian militarys mission, structures, combat strains, and activity within political, operational, and paramilitary realms. Drawing on IndonesianMalay sources normally unseen by the English-speaking world, Indonesias War over Aceh will be essential reading for regional specialists and those interested in contemporary conflict.

Matthew N. Davies is a member of the Australian Institute of Professional Intelligence Officers (AIPIO), Indonesian linguist, and former Australian Department of Defence intelligence analyst.
