Review:

There is hardly a better way to respect the memory of those tens of thousands of Acehnese who lost their lives in the tsunami, and in the preceding conflict, than to open their history to the outside world. One wishes to see that this book will be followed by a range of Aceh studies that will also look beyond the conflict and violence and see Acehnese people and their everyday lives.

(Journal of Contemporary Asia)

This collection raises important questions of broad interest to policy makers and students of conflict resolution in divided states, as well as specialists in Southeast Asian history and culture.

(Journal of Asian Studies)

Balanced, well-researched studies of the Aceh conflict are hard to find. This is one of the many reasons why Verandah of Violence: The Background to the Aceh Problem is sorely needed. Its core strength is the diversity of its 14 authors in terms of their backgrounds, explanations, and even sympathies. . . . [this] is the definitive collection on the Aceh conflict, offering unrivalled depth and breadth.

(Pacific Affairs)

This volume is testimony to the intractability of conflicts of this kind throughout the world. Recommended.
