Black Armada by Rupert Lockwood is a history book. A letter came to Rupert Lockwood in 1963 from Pramoedya Ananta Toer, leading Indonesian writer, appealing for an Australian chronicling of the historic boycotts, mutinies and riots staged in Australia against the colonial Dutch in 1942-49. Black Armada is the answer to that appeal. The yield of years of research is strengthened by Rupert Lockwood's participation in the dramatic 1942-49 'war without shooting' as Robert Menzies called it, that helped materially to prevent Dutch reconquest of the second richest colony, the Netherlands East Indies. Boycotts and mutinies in Australia not only won time and space vital to the survival of the new-born Indonesian Republic and earned an enduring Indonesian respect for Australian friends; they also set in motion long-overdue changes in Australian policies towards Asia and paved the way for something approaching national independence in world affairs. Published by Australasian Book Society.
