First Bombing Raid Against Japanese-held Nauru - new article

Today's CNN article describes present-day Nauru and how its fortunes have risen and fallen with its phosphate reserves. My book tells the story of Nauru's shelling by Germany, occupation by Japan, and bombardment by the United States during WWII, all directly linked to the far-flung island's phosphate mining. http://www.cnn.com/2011/IREPORT/06/17/nauru.colt/index.html?&hpt=hp_c2
