Natives and exotics

Description:

"This environmental history of World War II ranges over rear bases and operational fronts from Bora Bora to New Guinea providing a lucid analysis of resource exploitation, entangled wartime politics, and human perceptions of the vast Oceanic environment ... Natives and Exotics is essential reading for those interested in environmental history, Pacific studies, and a different kind of war story that has surprising relevance for today's concerns with global warming."--Publisher's description.
