A direct transcription from a one-year diary kept while serving as a physician in a jungle outpost in New Guinea. Formatted with bold dated entries to keep the reader interested from start to finish. Laugh and cry with Perry Goldman MD and cheer for him when tiny successes are achieved. WWII in the Pacific began brutally for the United States after the attack on Pearl Harbor. Establishing outposts far across the ocean after having lost so many ships was a daunting task. Port Moresby, a small city in the southeast corner of New Guinea became a tenuous beginning foothold in an attempt to curb the Japanese expansion. American physicians of all ages enlisted in the armed forces. Perry Goldman MD was already 33 years old, married with a three year old son and practicing General Medicine in Detroit Michigan when he joined the fight. Without much in the way of intensive training for his role he was rapidly assigned temporary duty in San Francisco and shortly thereafter flown overseas to Australia and then transferred by train and airplane to a small jungle post outside of Port Moresby. Perry began a personal diary the day he left San Francisco in November of 1942 and continued daily entries for exactly one year. His inner strength, emotional resilience and diverse observations of war, army politics, fellow soldiers and even humorous interjections have been transcribed by his son Sidney Goldman MD as a work of remembrance and respect. Intended originally for Perry's family and friends, the work has great appeal for anyone interested in this segment of the war since very few of the surviving participants spoke openly about their difficult experiences during their lifetime. In fact after concluding his one year diary with a question as to when and if he would come home alive Perry remained in the Pacific an additional ten months thereby totaling 22 months in the region. The diary is filled with thoughts, wishes, prayers and hopes throughout and the reader will identify with Perry's distress and also learn his eventual fate with addendum added by the author. Photographs inserted were copied from Perry's own collection adding visual testimony to some of the entries.

Pioneering ecologist and humanist N. N. Miklouho-Maclay lived at a time of great colonial and industrial expansion; he was a pupil of the German philosopher Ernst Haeckel. To prove that the people of all races are equally human, Maclay went to the island of New Guinea (1870), the first white man to do so and stayed years with native Papuans while the rest of the world presumed he had been eaten. His diaries are testimony to his time in New Guinea where he observed a native culture untouched by the outside world. Maclay describes his first meeting with the natives; "A few Papuans moved closer to me. Suddenly two arrows flashed in rapid succession close by me... As the first arrow passed me by, the eyes of many natives were fixed upon me, trying to read the impressions in my face; except for fatigue and curiosity, registered I no emotion." He was instead befriended by the Papuans; they called him Tamo Russ, believing that he had descended from the moon. The diaries were originally edited with the help of Russian author Leo Tolstoy. The books sold millions of copies in Eastern Europe. Maclay tried hard to save Papuans and their traditional culture and died disillusioned at the age of 42. He tried to revise Darwin's theory of the selection of the species and challenged the idea that certain races of people are born genetically superior. The New Guinea Diaries provide an authentic portrait of a timeless, sustainable and egalitarian tribal society before the Europeans moved into the area. The book is illustrated with original drawings made by Maclay during his New Guinean expedition.

Tamura Yoshikazu is destined to die on the alien shores of the New Guinea warzone. Devoid of family contact, perplexed by the unfamiliarity of his environment, deprived of even meagre amenities and faced with the spectre of debilitating illness and starvation, this solitary soldier commenced a diary in the early part of 1943. Employed in the hard labour of building airstrips, he is ground down by tedium, disheartened by the now dysfunctional military hierarchy, consumed by grief at the meaningless deaths of comrades, and stripped of any chance of being involved in an aspect of war that he considers heroic and meaningful. Profoundly unsettled by all that appears to be at odds with the kokutai ideology, Tamura employs strategies through the vehicle of his diary to enable him to remain committed to the pathway of death on behalf of the Emperor.
