DESCRIPTION: |
137-164 pp.; 28 cm. |
NOTES: |
In war, deaths from disease and famine usually exceed combat deaths, and civilian suffering from food and other shortages extends far beyond the battlefield. |
NOTES: |
he human and natural resources of Chuuk Lagoon were strained to support this inflated population, with lasting effects. Islander memories of these years emphasize personal and social responses to the stresses of food shortages. |
