The life and legacy of Indonesia's second President is the biography of a man who rose from a humble farming background to become one of Asia's most important political figures. This insightful narrative traces his life from his birth in 1921, through his long tenure as president to his present life, one that is far divorced from his former days of glory. It also explores the controversy surrounding the charitable organisations or Yayasan which were established during his time in power and their links to the Indonesian conglomerates and his family.
