What is Merdeka Rising about?
JAVA, 1945: In the uneasy aftermath of war, once bitter enemies must stand as allies against the rage and terror of revolution. As Indonesia erupts in violent revolution, thousands of Europeans interned by the Japanese become hostages to fortune. Their only hope is a tiny force of peacekeepers—British, Indian, Gurkha and surrendered Japanese—who stand against the murderous hordes. New loyalties are tested while old scores are settled in blood amidst mass, spine-chilling roars of ‘Merdeka!’ (Freedom!). ‘An ambitious, unconventional, compelling saga of men at war, captivity, forced prostitution, murder, political dirty tricks and mob terror in Japanese-occupied and revolutionary Indonesia. Rory Marron’s BLACK SUN, RED MOON and MERDEKA RISING gives us an almost tangible glimpse of the chaos that was Java in 1945-46. His writing, infused with imaginative speculation, is sweeping, poignant, passionate and unflinching.’ (Publishers Catalogue.) Japan’s sudden surrender in August 1945 ends World War II but triggers the Indonesian declaration of independence from the Netherlands. In a chaotic, mistrustful peace Lord Mountbatten orders the Japanese to defend the white colonial order. Recent
