History

A look at the history and recent colonial past, and at Australia's connections and influences, of the islands of the pacific. From tiny Pitcairn to much larger New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, Australia's Pacific neighbours are a widely varying group of landscapes, cultures, peoples and histories. This book tells their stories from earliest times through the French, German, British and American colonial eras to, for some, independence and beyond.
Includes facts about each country, plus maps and flags. Ages 12+.
