- Synopsis
- The focus of this book is on a secret Guam study carried out in 1973-74 by a federal interagency working group and sent on to the President. The study was commissioned and completed at a time when the United States was negotiating commonwealth status with the Northern Mariana Islands (NMI) and there was dissatisfaction in Guam with its own territorial status position. Views in Guam were mixed as to what its own status position should be and whether, if possible, Guam should unify with the NMI. That idea had been put forth in a referendum, which was accepted by the NMI but then rejected by Guam, partly because of the role the NMI had played in facilitating the Japanese occupation of Guam during World War II.
