Zusammenfassung

The Japanese annexed the archipelago of Palau in 1914. The airbase built on Peleliu Island became a target for attack by the US in World War II. This book offers an ethnographic study of how Palau and Peleliu were transformed by warring powers and explores how their conflict is remembered differently by the three peoples who shared the experience.
