A Prince in a Republic. The Life of Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX of Yogyakarta, written by John Monfries

• The review scrutinizes John Monfries's biography of the Javanese prince and politician Hamengku Buwono IX, who was a hero of the Indonesian Revolution and later served as vice president of Indonesia. The book is lauded for its meticulous research and contextualization of the sultan, but criticized for providing a scanty analysis of the sultan as a person.
