Troepenverschepingen onwettig (bespreking van De Jong)

Troop shipments unlawful (review of De Jong)

Open file in Google DriveRead full text

De Waarheid book review (30 Apr 1988, p.5) of a De Jong volume on Dutch troop shipments to Indonesia, arguing the 1946-47 deployments lacked a constitutional basis and that resistance (Amsterdam strike of Sept 1946, Indonesia refusers, Schoonhoven boys) was more significant than De Jong suggests. Lawyers Trees Sunito-Heyligers and Clara Enthoven stressed the political nature of refusal. No Gerwani content.

Resensi buku di De Waarheid (30 Apr 1988, hlm. 5) atas karya De Jong tentang pengiriman pasukan Belanda ke Indonesia, yang berargumen bahwa pengiriman 1946-47 tidak punya dasar konstitusional dan perlawanan (mogok Amsterdam Sept 1946, penolak dinas, Schoonhovenjongens) lebih penting daripada kesan De Jong. Pengacara Trees Sunito-Heyligers dan Clara Enthoven menekankan sifat politik penolakan. Tidak ada isi Gerwani.
