Hostage in Djakarta"Covers the period of impending Communist takeover [of Indonesia], the abortive coup and the bloody days that followed. ... Caught in the middle of a native uprising against the Indonesian government in West Irian, Harold Lovestrand stood by helplessly while his Bible school students were threatened and his family was exposed to the strains of an uneasy political situation. Endless frustrations and arbitrary decisions by minor military officials were only a part of what was to lead to an unjust accusation and a near-fatal imprisonment."--Dust jacket flap |
