Description

An account of the experiences of the inhabitants of Nauru during three years of Japanese occupation in WWII. Based largely on interviews, diaries and other contemporary writings, it tells of the initial invasion of the island, and the brutal treatment the Islanders received, including starvation, beatings, deportation and forced labour. Also provides an account of the Island's liberation and subsequent rebuilding of Nauruan community life. Includes references and an index. The author is a journalist who has been the ABC's South Pacific correspondent for many years, and has also reported for the 'Pacific Islands Monthly' and the BBC.
