Willard A. Hanna
Willard Anderson Hanna was an American author and historian who wrote extensively about Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia and Bali.
His work "A Brief History of Bali" is considered a significant contribution to understanding the island's complex history.
Hanna's writing style is described as unique and somewhat anachronistic, reflecting his own time and nationality.
His perspective on Balinese history, especially regarding colonial relationships and political developments, is seen as thorough but sometimes biased towards Western viewpoints.
Hanna's work primarily covers events up to the 1970s, with later editions including updates by other authors to bring the narrative closer to the present day.
