Editor's Note:
In 1944, direct na de bevrijding van het zuiden van Nederland, meldt de zeventienjarige Harry Akkermans zich als oorlogsvrijwilliger om de rest van Nederland te helpen bevrijden.Zijn huis is verwoest, zijn favoriete oom is na een razzia spoorloos verdwenen en hij kan al maanden geen contact krijgen met zijn beste vrienden. Zodra het zuiden van Nederland is bevrijd, meldt de jonge Harry, de oudste zoon in een Brabants middenstandersgezin, zich bij de marine om te helpen de noordelijke Nederlanden te bevrijden. Terwijl zijn familie met niets opnieuw begint, komt hij terecht in een eerste groep Nederlandse militairen die in de Verenigde Staten wordt opgeleid tot mariniers. Na de oorlog verwacht hij naar huis te kunnen, maar hij belandt op een schip naar Nederlands-Indië.In plaats van Indië van Japan te bevrijden, moet hij zich staande houden tegenover Indonesiërs die van hem verlost willen worden. Van bevrijder naar tegenstander: een rolwisseling waarop hij niet heeft gerekend. Vanaf het moment dat onder zijn kameraden de eerste doden vallen, groeit het gevoel dat hij en de andere jongens worden geofferd voor een verkeerde zaak. Hoewel zijn brieven naar huis in Oudemolen gecensureerd worden, blijft hij zijn vader, moeder, broers en zusjes schrijven; de brieven die hij van hen ontvangt, vol bemoedigende woorden en uitgesproken twijfel, houden hem op de been. In Bestemming Soerabaja wordt de lezer ooggetuige van de Nederlandse gevechtshandelingen in Indië en deelgenoot van de deceptie van de jonge militairen.‘Een hele generatie jonge militairen zweeg een leven lang over wat zij in Nederlands-Indië had meegemaakt. Velen namen hun verhalen mee in het graf. Met dit boek wil ik het taboe doorbreken van een verzwegen geschiedenis.’ – Ilse AkkermansDe oude reiskoffer van haar vader bleek honderden brieven uit Nederlands-Indië te bevatten. Toen Ilse Akkermans die las en haar vader erover sprak, wist ze het zeker: ze moest zijn verhaal opschrijven. Een onthutsend verslag over de roerige Bersiap-periode, gezien door de ogen van een Nederlands marinier.
