"This book analyzes an assortment of accounts of Yolngu, Papua New Guinean, and Navajo participation in the Second World War. It frames their roles in the contexts of settler-indigenous relations and the common pasts of the then--and still--divided nations. The primary case studies are Yolngu units and 'de facto' auxiliaries in Arnhem Land, Australia; laborers, police, coastwatchers, and the Pacific Island Regiment in Papua and New Guinea; and Navajo code talkers in the U.S. Marine Corps"--Page 3.
