About This Item
Rigby, Adelaide, 1970. Softcover. Near Fine. PAPUA NEW GUINEA âJack McCarthy may know New Guinea better than anyone now alive. He has worked there for thirty-five years. Out of his knowledge and experience, he has written a book which holds little comfort for Australians.âWe will fight anyone who tries to take our land! They can kill us! We will die!â the natives of Bougainville Island told him. Their words are typical of the fear and resentment felt by many in Papua and New Guinea. According to Mr McCarthy, their feelings are rasped by high-handed government actionsâ¦He has penetrated the sinister twilight of swamps and jungles shunned by most white men, travelled the great rivers, and lived with strange tribesmen such as those who can hardly walk because their lives are spent on water. With rich and fascinating detail, he writes humorously and colourfully of his adventures and observations in what is still one of the worldâs most forbidding territories...â231 p. : ill. #121122 Cowburn, Benjamin. | World War, 1939-1945 -- Secret service -- Great Britain. | World War, 1939-1945 -- Personal narratives, British. | Papua New Guinea.
