Synopsis

A collection of 107 letters by Snouck Hurgronje. “This relationship to Heutsz undoubtedly Van Daalens career favorably influenced, as well as the fact that between Heutsz as governor of Aceh, and his advisor, the Islamic scholar C. Snouck, at the end of the nineties came to a removal. Snouck had serious reservations Whatley and his example unsuited to Heutsz as governor of Aceh follow because of his heavy-handed military action. Whatley would not be the appropriate man after the subjection also to bring about the pacification of the area. Heutsz lagged From stand Whatley, but his bloody expedition with 200 men and around 400 military police forced labor as porters for the Gajo and Alaslanden in Central and South Aceh from February to July 1904 Snouck seemed to give equal. To explain Van Daalens’s crackdown stressed that his trip to the Gajo and Alaslanden with evidence that pacification could be no question as long as the submission was not fully completed and the population continued to resist”.
