Bikfala Faet : olketa Solomon Aelanda rimembarem Wol Wo Tu / The Big Death : Solomon Islanders remember World War II

In Pijin and English. From the back cover: 'The Big Death is a unique record of Solomon Islander experiences during the Pacific War. It was in the Solomon Islands that Allied forces turned the tide of the Pacific War, beginning with the U.S. landings on Guadalcanal and Nggela on 7 August 1942. Scores of books have been written about the momentous events that followed, but none have described the experiences of the Solomon Islands people who watched in amazement as their once remote islands became center stage for one of the greatest military conflicts the world has ever known. Their voices, often left out of written histories, speak not only about the critical roles they played coastwatching, fighting and working, but also about the meaning of wartime events for their culture and history.
