The Communist Party of Indonesia, 1951-1961 : a decade of the Aidit leadership
The Introduction is divided into two parts: an analysis of Javanese society, and an outline history of PKI to December 1948. Because PKI has made its greatest gains among the Javanese and in the villages as well as in the towns, an examination is made of socio-economic conditions in the rural and urban areas of Java. It is hoped that the examination points to some of the reasons for the rapid growth of the communist organization. The outline history of PKI to the end of 1948 is intended merely to sketch in the background of the Party before the opening date of the main part of the thesis. (First paragraph of Summary).
