"\"In the campaign against Japan in the Pacific during the Second World War, the armed forces of the United States, Australia, and the Australian colonies of Papua and New Guinea made use of indigenous peoples in new capacities. The United States had long used American Indians as soldiers and scouts in frontier conflicts and in wars with other nations. With the advent of the Navajo Code Talkers in the Pacific theater, Native servicemen were now being employed for contributions that were unique to their Native cultures. In contrast, Australia, Papua, and New Guinea had long attempted to keep indigenous peoples out of the armed forces altogether. With the threat of Japanese invasion, however, they began to bring indigenous peoples into the military as guerilla patrollers, coastwatchers, and regular soldiers. Defending Whose Country? is a comparative study of the military participation of Papua New Guineans, Yolngu, and Navajos in the Pacific War. In examining the decisions of state and military leaders to bring indigenous peoples into military service, as well as the decisions of indigenous individuals to serve in the armed forces, Noah Riseman reconsiders the impact of the largely forgotten contributions of indigenous soldiers in the Second World War.\"--Project Muse."@en . .

"\"This book analyzes an assortment of accounts of Yolngu, Papua New Guinean, and Navajo participation in the Second World War. It frames their roles in the contexts of settler-indigenous relations and the common pasts of the then--and still--divided nations. The primary case studies are Yolngu units and 'de facto' auxiliaries in Arnhem Land, Australia; laborers, police, coastwatchers, and the Pacific Island Regiment in Papua and New Guinea; and Navajo code talkers in the U.S. Marine Corps\"--Page 3." . . . . . . . . . . .
