The Barbarians

Through the lens of a personal diary, the narrative captures the complexities of the Wau-Salamaua fight, offering a raw and unfiltered perspective that contrasts with glorified historical accounts. The diary, written in cramped handwriting, reflects the author's struggle to document his truth amidst the chaos of war. As the pages fade and the binding deteriorates, it serves as a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of memory and the importance of personal narratives in understanding history.
