This analysis of US policy towards Indonesian nationalism concludes that Trumans support for independence was based on his Cold War priorities and not principled backing for self-determination. It reveals how Eisenhowers New Look led to a disastrous CIA-backed intervention in 1957-58 and propelled Indonesia towards the Soviet bloc. Exposing the extent of Australian influence on US policy, this account reveals how the personal prejudices of Eisenhower and John Foster Dulles undermined the notion of rational policymaking.
