Description:... This is the first English-language book on Nahdlatul Ulama Indonesia's largest Islamic organisation & also one of its least studied. Founded in 1926 to defend the interests of traditional Islam, NU has had a tumultuous history as both a political party and a socio-religious organisation. It's behaviour has frequently been enigmatic.
