Understand
thumb|upright 1.3|South Tarawa from the air Tarawa was the site of the Battle of Tarawa, one of the most brutal battles in the Pacific Theatre during World War II. It was the capital of the former British colony of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands.
For a full understanding of this atoll you should pick up a book called The Sex Lives of Cannibals by J Maarten Troost. This is a very informative insight to the everyday life on Tarawa. (The title is misrepresentative, and perhaps slapped on by the publisher, as there is nothing naughty or cannibalistic in the book.)
