Brilliant and forceful, Charles Abel was one of the most acclaimed
missionaries in the South Pacific. His Kwato Mission, founded in
1891, became virtually a state within a state in Milne Bay, Papua
New Guinea. The influence of Kwato remained long after the Mission
itself began to decline, with descendants of Mission families
playing significant roles in the formation of the independent
nation of Papua New Guinea during the 1960s and 1970s. Charles Abel
contributes to contemporary debate on the role of missions in the
expansion of empire. David Wetherell has drawn on unpublished
documents to produce a fascinating portrait of this controversial
man and the dynasty he founded.
