U.S. Embassy political officer's favorite February 19, 2008
I read this book before I was assigned to the United States Embassy as the political officer. I read it again after one year in the country, and kept refering to sections for my entire tour. The most recent edition is an indispensible primer on PNG politics and economics. Sean...we need an updated version!
Entertaining yet informative and pertinent. September 7, 1998

Unusually entertaining and easy-to-read for a book used by many universities as a text on Papua New Guinea. Contains a wealth of historical facts, economic statistics and keen insights into the people and politics of Papua New Guinea, including many amusing anecdotes from the author's experiences. Though written and published some years ago, it is interesting to note the accuracy of many of the author's predictions as verified by the recent political turmoil in PNG over the Sandline mercenary affair. I thoroughly recommend this book for anyone wishing to know more about the complex and sometimes confusing political and cultural scene of Papua New Guinea.
