People, Politics and History Since 1975

PNG is a country careering away from its past. Its tribal heritage is ever present, but the demands of the modern world grow ever more insistent - men whose fathers can remember the arrival of the white man are now helicopter pilots. Sean Dorney, who was the ABC correspondent in PNG for 17 years, has updated and thoroughly revised this highly-acclaimed portrait of our nearest neighbour and included in this edition material gathered for the ABC-TV documentary series, 'Paradise Imperfect'.

This fascinating and authoritative examination of PNG begins with a brief overview of its history until independence in 1975 and then traces the major themes that have resonated through its first quarter century as a nation - including corruption, political uncertainty, lawlessness, its troubled border with Indonesia, the war on Bougainville and the engagement of the Sandline mercenaries.
