Cut Nyak Dien: The Warrior Widow of Aceh

When her husband fell in battle against the Dutch, Cut Nyak Dien picked up his rencong dagger and led Aceh's guerrilla war herself — for nearly thirty years, through jungle and mountain, half-blind and aging, refusing every offer of surrender. Betrayed at last in 1905, she died in exile in Sumedang, far from home, her grave hidden for decades. The true story of Indonesia's most formidable heroine, told with the respect her courage demands.
