| Sommario/riassunto: | In 1975 Papua New Guinea became an independent nation. On the thirtieth anniversary, Denoon traces the colourful history of both Australia and PNG's rapid decolonisation. This is a compelling and authoritative account that also challenges the many contemporary perceptions of post-colonial PNG. |
