New Release
Occidental Preacher, Accidental Teacher:
The Enigmatic Clive Williams, Volume One, 1921-1968
By Shannon L. Smith
Clive Williams was once the Australian Government’s best-kept secret. He was Indonesian President Soeharto’s closest confidant and friend. Williams was not a spy or secret-agent, nor a confidence-man; he was simply thrust by circumstance into the most important position in the Australia-Indonesia relationship for more than three decades.
No other Australian in a non-diplomatic capacity has been as influential on Australian foreign policy and international relations. This is the first of two volumes telling the story of the enigmatic Clive Williams – at once a missionary, English teacher, Presidential confidant, US intermediary, business power broker, cattle rancher and Australian back-channel diplomat.
Coming Soon
Australian Compatriot, Indonesian Confidant:
The Enigmatic Clive Williams, Volume Two, 1969-2001
By Shannon L. Smith
When Soeharto became President of Indonesia in 1968, Australian Clive Williams was already an extremely close confidant of his inner political, business and social circles. Until now though, the name Clive Williams has been kept secret from the Australian public – he has not even been footnoted in diplomatic relations or history.
For over three decades, Williams brokered business deals, political playoffs and diplomatic stalemates on behalf of the Indonesian President. Williams advised successive Australian Governments about President Soeharto’s thinking on various issues of Australia’s vital national interest. The Australia-Indonesia relationship is something to behold through the lens of Clive Williams.
