We know many biographies about Sukarno. But do you know who wrote the first biographical book about Soekarno? If Soekarno is a historical figure then this book itself is History. This biography was written by a writer of Chinese descent under the pen name Im Jang Tjoe. The author's real name is Tan Hong Boen. This book was written in 1933 or 12 years before Soekarno became the first President of the Republic of Indonesia. Although not as detailed as other biographies that emerged later, at least this book is an early record of Soekarno's political career in Indonesia.
