Indonesia

<p>I have had the desire to write this book for forty years before finally taking the plunge. The book encompasses the entire time I spent working at the American embassy in Jakarta Indonesia as a Marine Security Guard. It follows all the adventures and misadventures of myself and the entire detachment I was assigned to and the eight Marines I worked with there. I also followed the political landscape in Indonesia at the time as well as embassy life and politics and life within my detachment. But most of the book details my desire to learn about and experience everything Indonesian and how I mostly accomplished that with the help of my Indonesian girlfriend Neneng.</p>
