    KIAP
    
    Australia's Patrol Officers in PNG

    by James Sinclair.
    
    published in 1984 by Robert Brown & Associates, Bathurst, NSW
    
    This is the magnificent story of Australia's patrol officers in postwar Papua New Guinea fom the end of the Second World War to Independence in 1975.
    
    For almost the the entire 30-year span the book covers, the author James Sinclair, was a 'kiap' - the Pidgin term for the field officers of the then Department of District Administration - first as an inexperienced cadet patrol officer, and finally as the last white District Commissioner for the Eastern Highlands.
    
    For a great many of his adventurous New Guinea years Sinclair was one of a small handful of kiaps who specialised in first contact work - that is, the exploration of new territory and frequently the pacification of remote tribes involved in constant warfare with their neighbours. These men became legendary, for although they were only a small segment of Papua New Guinea's colonial administration, events conspired to make the work of the kiaps often conspicuous and exciting.
    
    But the book is much more than the kiap's history it notes the significant milestones as Australia helps 2.5 million islanders along the road to self-government and independence.
    This is a work of contemporary history, both impressive and highly readable.
    
    Illustrated - b&w photographs, illustrated endpages.
