Hitler, Religion and Other Types of Cannibals

When the author started writing this book, it was to be about living amongst the cannibals of the Kukukuku people of Papua New Guinea. Nevertheless, the longer he worked in that country, he began to realize that there were many types of cannibals there. For instance, there were those people who ate other people, then there were people who dug up their dead and ate them, then there were people who only ate the brains of their leaders and so on. Many of these people would be horrified by the practices of other types of cannibals and many of them had different reasons for doing what they did.

As the story emerged, the author then realized that other people around the world, practised cannibalism in a symbolic way, or their actions might be described as all consuming or cannibalistic. In all, as a result of his research, he came up with 11 different types of cannibals, and that throughout his life; he had actually encountered and suffered from these types of cannibals.

His twelve years of living amongst the people of Papua New Guinea; his university qualifi cations, including a BA Hon., Dip. Ed., MA., and a PhD, plus 20 years in university teaching and research, make him more than adequately qualifi ed to write this book.
