Third, this book is also important because it sets a context for Lubis' struggle [... ] Hill is successful in producing a richly nuanced account of Lubis and the events that shaped life of the famed journalist. - Her Suheryanto, review in The Jakarta Post, Sunday, April 04, 2010 If Indonesian cultural and intellectual history is ever to move from the margins to the mainstream of the nation's story, we are going to need more researchers of Hill's calibre and commitment, and more books of the type he has pioneered here. - Keith Foulcher, Asian Studies Review, 34: 4, 513-543 What Hill writes is definitely not a glorifying hagiography, but instead presents a more sober story of the life of this heroic figure, producing a knowledgeable study of the press, politics and literature in Indonesia in the second half of the 20th Century. - Edwin Wieringa, Anthropos 105.2010, 650-1 Hill's book is important for a number of reasons.
