Papua New Guinea (2nd ed.)

Published in 1976, Papua New Guinea was the first book to interpret the main events leading to Papua New Guinea's independence. The 1960s and 1970s in Papua New Guinea were a time of ferment and great excitement as Australia's Territory moved quickly towards independence in 1975. Don Woolford worked as a journalist in Papua New Guinea and wrote this account of the years of political development from the first general election for a representative House of Assembly in 1964 through to independence
