That point really brings to my attention. I guess, it is both in war actions and men's journey together. Well, the book is not the end yet, maybe the next series gives clarification.

Got to say I thought the title referred to a sci-fi tribe or something, and then Jacko happened :)

For me it sounds like it is referring to a tribe of some sort, may be Native Americans that is engaged in a war. The title itself pits me against reading the book, although the book may be a great read. Judging from a review this is really an interesting book if you like stories about war and espionage then this would be the book for you. The title, The Warramunga's War, does not give any clue as to what is expected in the reading.

It was indeed a less-known name, the Warramunga. I never saw it that way, but I guess it could be a sci-fi tribe. That's an interesting take.

I am a big fan of this series by Greg Kater and in this book (as with the other two), I think Jack'O is the main protagonost. I am basing this on the title and his major role in all the books.

Up until now, I did not know there was a sci-fy tribe. I have to check out the definition.

I think the author based the title on Jacko and his tribe. The Warramunga is a kind of native tribe in Australia and Jacko is a part of this because one of his parents and his ancestors were from this tribe.

I think the title has a double meaning. On the one hand, it refers to the idea that Australians who fought in Syria and Lebanon in 1941 might have Warramunga heritage like Jacko, who is half Warramunga from his mother's side, and that could be the origin of their survival skills. Possessing these skills would make Australians more resilient and, therefore, valuable in wars. Also, in a more subtle way, I think it refers to resilience in their personal lives' quests.

It obviously refers to Jacko's Warramunga's tribe heritage. To be frank, the title got me interested in reading the book.

Yeah?! Reading through Jacko is the main highlight of the story, I thought that it was Jamie. Now, I understand why the title reckons to Jacko. I'm also looking forward to the other series.

I even ignored it, but warramunga seems so interesting as what you have observed. The next series maybe clearer about warramunga's war.

At first, glancing the title seems it tackle on tribal war or a tribe that helps to win the war during ww2. I also thought about sci-fi tribal war by just glancing the title and its cover photo. Reading the book seems so good.

At first, I thought it only referred to Jacko. But having considered the contribution of Sarah, and also considering how even Jamie has been considered as a Warramunga brother, I have realized that the title really refers to the general theme of the book that coincides with the spirit of the Warramunga.

I thought that it related to Jacko since he is part Warramunga and he is in a war. I really didn't think about it too much before I read the different responses here. They are very interesting. Thanks
