Episode 24: ”It was God’s Will” (Video link below)

This is Part 2 of our Battleground Indonesia collaboration with TheKultureDotTV. Aaron, Hailey Rounsaville, and Mike Oldfield cover the tumultuous period from the end of World War II and the Sukarno-led victory over the Dutch which established Indonesian independence. They then trace the imperial intrigues which unfolded throughout the  Eisenhower years. Most notably, they discuss how American deep statesman Allen Dulles played the long game to seize control over the Indonesia's vast resource wealth. This is the audio version. The episode was produced as a video which you can watch here.
