Guerilla warfare often takes a long time to conclude, as seen in the Indonesian revolution, which is a rare occurrence. Both sides undoubtedly require the right tactics and strategies when facing the opposition. The Republic of Indonesia launched its guerrilla actions, and, of course, the Dutch responded with anti-guerrilla actions. One of the tactics used in guerrilla and anti-guerrilla actions is psychological warfare. The use of psychological warfare tactics certainly has its unique aspects, especially in its operational context. Physical operations involving combat or battles are the primary factors in any war due to their common occurrence; therefore, this factor is not the main focus of discussion in this book. Instead, at the same time, there are minor factors that are seen as crucial and decisive in the course of guerrilla warfare and should not be overlooked, namely psychological warfare. So, what forms does psychological warfare take in guerrilla and anti-guerrilla actions during the Indonesian revolution? How is it executed, and what are its implications for both sides? This book will take the reader into the realm of psychological warfare in guerrilla and anti-guerrilla actions during the Indonesian revolution, especially between 1948 and 1949 in "Jawa Tengah".
