University Press of Hawaii

This succinct, clear account of the design for living carried out by the people of Ulithi Atoll emphasizes ancestor worship, magic and divination, and sexual behavior in the context of social and legal obligations and family life. The reader is launched on a journey back in time to a cluster of low islets of carbonate rock in the western Pacific to discover the lives of a mild, expressive people dominated by work, group activity, and cooperation.

This book is meant to be more than a personal biography recounting the author s participation in Allied Military Government in Italy during WW II as a Civil Affairs Officer, or governatore. It is meant to serve also as a documentary record of a kind not ordinarily left to posterity. Going beneath the passionless chronicles of history, it embraces human beings -- people who filled them with emotions, amidst a context of great material & economic devastation. At the same time, it scrupulously adheres to factual accuracy, identifying persons, places, & dates. Photos.
