A compelling work of political and social non-fiction, Papua New Guinea: Moment of Truth chronicles the critical transitional period in Papua New Guinea's history as the nation stood on the threshold of independence. Ian Todd, drawing on firsthand experience and keen journalistic insight, presents a vivid portrait of a country navigating the complex tensions between tradition and modernity, colonial legacy and self-determination. The narrative argues that this defining juncture would shape the cultural, political, and economic identity of the Pacific nation for generations to come. Written with authority and urgency, the book illuminates the human stories behind the headlines, offering an indispensable account of one of the twentieth century's most significant decolonisation processes in the Pacific region.
