520    National hero, Javanese mystic, pious Muslim and leader of
       the 'holy war' against the Dutch between 1825 and 1830, 
       the Yogyakarta prince, Dipanagara (1785-1855, otherwise 
       known as Diponegoro), is pre-eminent in the pantheon of 
       modern Indonesian historical figures. Yet despite instant 
       name recognition in Indonesia, there has never been a full
       biography of the prince's life and times based on Dutch 
       and Javanese sources. 'The power of prophecy' is a major 
       study which sets Dipanagara's life history against the 
       context of the turbulent events of the late eighteenth and
       early nineteenth century when the full force of European 
       imperialism hit Indonesia like an Asian tsunami destroying
       forever Java's 'old order' and propelling the twin forces 
       of Islam and Javanese national identity into a fatal 
       confrontation with the Dutch. This confrontation known as 
       the Java War, in which Dipanagara was defeated and exiled,
       marked the beginning of the modern colonial period in 
       Indonesia which lasted until the Japanese occupation of 
       1942-1945. The book presents a detailed analysis of 
       Dipanagara's pre-war visions and aspirations as a Javanese
       Ratu Adil ('Just King') based on extensive reading of his 
       autobiography, the Babad Dipanagara as well as a number of
       other Javanese sources. Dutch and British records, in 
       particularly the Residency Archives of Yogyakarta and 
       Surakarta currently kept in the Indonesian National 
       Archives, provide the backbone of this scholarly work. The
       book will be read with profit by all those interested in 
       the rise of Western colonial rule in Indonesia, the fate 
       of indigenous cultures in an age of imperialism and the 
       role of Javanese Islam in modern Indonesian history. Peter
       Carey, Laithwaite tutor in History at Trinity College, 
       Oxford, has made a lifetime study of Dipanagara and the 
       history of early nineteenth century Java. His many works 
       include the two-volume Archive of Yogyakarta (1980, 2000),
       The British in Java, 1811-1816; A Javanese account (1992) 
       and Babad Dipanagara; An account of the outbreak of the 
       Java War (1825-1830) (1981). He is one of Britain's 
       foremost historians of Southeast Asia and has also 
       published on Cambodia, Burma and East Timor.
