Suharto and His Generals: Indonesia Military Politics (1984) By David Jenkins
 
During the years 1975 to 1983, a challenge to the rule of President Suharto within the Armed Forces of the Republic of Indonesia (ABRI) emerged from a debate over the role of the ABRI within society, its relations with other social-political groups, and the appointment of military officers to non-military positions within the government. The author provides an analysis of the regime's characteristics and theorizes about the future role of the ABRI within it. Using documentary evidence (the major papers prepared by all sides of the debate) as well as the personal recollections of army officers involved, the author gives a sense both of the personalities concerned and of the exercise of power.
