Amir Sjarifuddin (1907-1948) was a left-wing politician, one of the Indonesian Republic's first leaders. He became Prime Minister of the new Indonesian Republic in 1947 after succeeding Sutan Sjahrir. Amir was then overthrown and replaced by Mohammad Hatta, the vice-president of the republic. After that, he joined the People Democratic Front (FDR) lead by Musso, the leader of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI), to opposite Hatta. After the defeat of the FDR rebel on September 18-19, 1948, Amir was then executed by the Indonesian government as a rebel for his crimes against the people.

Sjahrir was more inclined to negogiate with the Dutch; Sjarifuddin was not only a Communist, but a figure who had received covert support from the Dutch government-in-exile during the war.
There was friction between Sjarifuddin as Minister of Defense, who was secretly Communist and had accepted covert help from the Dutch to run his underground movement during World War II, and military officers who had served in PETA under the Japanese and had Islamic sympathies, especially Soedirman.
AmirSjarifuddin had been involved in the movements for Indonesian independence since the late 1930s.
Tetapi karena citra "pahlawan" pada dirinya itu agak kabur, tentu saja Sjahrir hanya akan berhasil membelanya dengan jalan mendiskreditkan citra tokoh-tokoh lain yang lebih jelas gambarannya.
Masalah yang dihadapi Amir dalam bulan-bulan terakhir tahun 1935 tersebut, juga dirasakan oleh siapa saja yang dari sudut tinjauan politik mempunyai pandangan yang sama.
Dalam tahun 1940 Amir menjelaskan, bahwa dalam asas-asas Gerindo tidak ada sepatah kata pun yang melarangnya bekerja sebagai pegawai negeri.
