Echoes of Pacific War: Papers from the 7th Tongan History Conference Held in Canberra in January 1997 - Softcover
Tonga was never occupied in World War II, and no battles were fought in its immediate vicinity. But the threat of hostilities was real. The Tongan Defence Force was on alert. The population, under the leadership of its beloved Queen Salote, supported the war effort generously and in many ways including the donation of two airplanes. Later on American troops were stationed on Tongatapu. Social forces and tensions were released affecting the world view of the Tongan people, and some of the assumptions of the past were put in question. As the reader will find out, life in Tonga was never the same again.
