Trisnojuwono

Much of his literary work is based on his experiences as Pemuda during the Indonesian National Revolution and includes many unique eye witness accounts of this chaotic and violent period.

Student Corps in Magelang and Jombang in 1947-1948, and finally the famous Siliwangi Division of the newly established Indonesian armed forces (TNI) in 1950-1953.

[4] One of the short stories from his book 'Men and Munitions' entitled: 'Barbed Wire Fence' was made into a movie by Asrul Sani, but did not get wide circulation due to opposition from the PAPFIAS (Action committee with communist roots and ties to boycott films) and Lekra.

In books such as 'Di Medan Perang' (In the Middle of War) he also shows the less than glorious aspects of the Indonesian revolution, when he describes atrocities such as the rape and murder of Indo-European women during the chaotic Bersiap period.
