Añadir al carritoPaperback. Ian Howie-Willis, Big Sky Publishing. Japanese troops seized and brutally occupied New Guinea's capital, Lae, for 18 months - until 16 September 1943. That day Australian soldiers retook the town against fierce resistance. Defeated, and after suffering huge losses, 8000 Japanese soldiers fled across the formidable 4000-metre mountains behind the town ; 2000 died on the nightmare trek. 'Operation Postern', the recapture of Lae from the Japanese, was a turning point in the Pacific War of 1941-1945. Until then, the Japanese believed they could retain the New Guinea mainland, yet after 'Postern' they retreated continually, making possible the success of all subsequent Allied campaigns in the South-West Pacific theatre. The Allied victory came at a high price - over 2000 casualties within a fortnight. Japanese losses were almost four times that many. How many Papua New Guinean village people died during the fighting is unknown, but very many did. Previous military histories have marginalised the Papua New Guineans, rarely referring to the horrific impact of the war on their villages. Typically, the campaign histories depict the Pacific War as a two-sided contest between the Allies and the Japanese. Dr Howie-Willis breaks new ground, amply demonstrating how the village communities on whose lands the campaign was fought were always an essential 'third party' to the conflict. Eight decades later, Operation Postern retells and reinterprets the crucial battle that was codenamed 'Operation Postern'. Dr Ian Howie-Willis is an independent professional historian. The author of 20 books, he is the Historical Adviser to St John Ambulance Australia. His previous book was An Unending War: The Australian Army's struggle against malaria, 1885-2015 (Big Sky Publishing, Sydney, 2016). He grew up in Melbourne and lived for ten years in Papua New Guinea and England before settling in Canberra in 1975. He completed his university training with a PhD in history from the Australian National University. He has been married to Margaret Willis (nee Vale), a retired school principal, for 58 years. They have three married children and seven grandchildren. Paperback.

Añadir al carritoSoft cover. Condición: Fine. 362 pp., illustrations, bibliography. University institutions have been a recent innovation in Papua New guinea, a late product of that country's protracted development towards nationhood. Charged with rapidly augmenting an embryonic national bureaucratic-technical elite, they have been eminently successful in fulfilling their brief: since their foundation in the middle and late 1960s they have undertaken ambitious programmes of teaching and research, and have maintained the flow of graduates which helped make Independence possible in 1975. There have been costs, however. The proper role of universities in Papua New Guinea has long been a topic for lively - and sometimes disruptive - contention. The universities are autonomous bodies at the apex of a pyramid of government controlled institutions of tertiary education, the very complexity of which has ensured the persistence of numerous tensions. There have been many individuals and groups with interests in the system to defend, and ambitions to promote. At the same time the universities have been so central to the government's task of nation building that in trying to maximize its investment in them it has habitually sought to bring them, against their will, more closely under its control. Relations within and between the universities, and between them and the government, have consequently often been uneasy, especially in the period following Independence as the country trod an uncertain path into nationhood. 0.0.
