Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog ging in Nederlands-Indië de strijd door, nu voor de onafhankelijkheid van Indonesië. Toen die eenmaal een feit was, verdween de Nederlands-Indische gemeenschap uit Indonesië naar het voor velen onbekende vaderland, Nederland. Na jarenlange ontberingen in zogeheten Jappenkampen en tijdens de Bersiap, volgde voor de Indische Nederlanders een strijd met de Nederlandse overheid voor erkenning van hun leed, uitbetaling van hun salarissen, en compensatie voor de materiële verliezen die zij hadden geleden. Als enige geallieerde natie heeft Nederland hieraan nauwelijks iets willen doen. Indisch Verdriet geeft de historie van zeventig jaar strijd om erkenning weer, een worsteling die nog steeds niet tot een bevredigend einde is gekomen. Dr. H. Th. Bussemaker is historicus, en was voorzitter van het Indisch Platform. Eerder schreef hij Bersiap! Opstand in het Paradijs.

A decent, if standard, experience. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. Perhaps more aligned with a different audience's tastes.
