In the vast landscape of Indonesian political literature and historical documentation, few documents are as enigmatic or as sought after as the autobiographical reflections of Indonesia’s second President, H.

In his "Tindakan," Soeharto paints a picture of rice self-sufficiency (swasembada pangan in 1984) and industrialization. He claims his actions alone modernized Indonesia. What the PDF does not contain (though critics point out) is the systemic corruption of the cukong (Chinese-Indonesian conglomerates) and the massive foreign debt accrued.

Throughout the PDF, there is a recurring motif: "Saya tidak pernah marah" (I never get angry). Soeharto insists his actions are always rational, calm, and consensus-driven. This contrasts sharply with eyewitness accounts of his temper in the 1996 kidnapping of activists, making the PDF a study in self-mythology.
