Mr. Bruce was stationed in New Guinea during World War II and is now a cinematographer; he writes of a people and country he has come to love and understand. Here he tells us about a gentle people almost untouched by civilization, about their customs, rituals, and politics. He describes a poor but noble people who live in poverty, deprivation, with sickness and superstition. A comprehensive and scholarly approach. 1991, Vantage Press.
