This book is a completely revised version of The Power of Prophecy; Prince Dipanagara and the End of an Old Order in Java; 1785–1855 (2007). A vivid biography of Indonesia’s foremost national hero; it tells the story of a remarkable figure whose life spanned his native Java’s troubled transition to the modern world. It will be read with profit by all those interested in the impact of European imperialism on non-European societies; the cultural encounter between West and East; the role of Islam in anti-colonial resistance; and the making of modern Indonesia. An Indonesian-language edition of Destiny has been published simultaneously by Indonesia’s leading publishing house; Penerbit Buku Kompas (Gramedia); as Takdir: Riwayat Pangeran Diponegoro (1785–1855).

Anyone who values personal freedoms and liberty should read this book!By TKGooberVery interesting and informative. America was founded as a confederacy. Washington and Jefferson both referred to it as such. That is why the Southern states chose that name for their new country in 1861. They wanted the original government that the founders had intended; not the big government that liberal Lincoln was shoving down their throats.
