General Jerry Singirok’s memoir of the Sandline Affair is an inexpensive ebook

Posted on by Rex

I normally don’t shill for Amazon — in fact I go out of my way to get my ebooks elsewhere. However in this case I think a plug is warranted, as they are selling copies of Singirok’s A Matter of Conscience: Operation Rausim Kwik for US$3.99. The book is (according the Amazon) almost 700 pages long. I haven’t had a chance to crack it yet but I suspect this is one any student of PNG history will want to have available, especially for that low price. Paper copies will be scarce, I reckon. Other ebook vendors don’t seem to have it available. So if you are interested in PNG history and have access to US amazon, I’d recommend you purchase a copy.
