About this product

Product Information

Presents a comparative study of the military participation of Papua New Guineans, Yolngu, and Navajos in the Pacific theatre in World War II. In examining the decisions of state and military leaders to bring indigenous peoples into military service, as well as the decisions of indigenous individuals to serve, Noah Riseman reconsiders the impact of the largely forgotten contributions of indigenous soldiers.
